A057: Effects Of Aerobic Exercise On Glutamate Homeostasis In Nac During Withdrawal Period Of Nicotine Addiction, Xuanzhen Pan, Yan Li

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Background/Purpose: The disturbed glutamate homeostasis in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays a key role in the induction of relapse during nicotine withdrawal. The uptake of excessive extracellular glutamate relies on astrocytic glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) and transporter for cysteine (x-CT). Nicotine abuse leads to decreases in expressions of GLT-1 and xCT in NAc. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of exercise on the expressions of GLT-1 and x-CT during nicotine withdrawal.

Method: (1) 2-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were used in this experiment. Mice were randomly divided into four groups: saline sedentary (SS) group, saline exercise (SE) group, …

A060: The Influence Of Off-Load Training On The Lower Limb Strength Asymmetry Of Tennis Students, Zhongqin Zou, Juan Cai

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Background: Many studies have shown that interlimb asymmetry is prevalent in various sports. As a highly reactive, one-sided sport, tennis has been shown to have significant left-right differences in grip strength and triceps strength in tennis players. However, playing tennis can also place an uneven mechanical load on the lower extremities. This left-right difference in mechanical load may also result in asymmetrical strength in the lower limbs. Therefore, early and effective interventions are needed to narrow the strength gap between the non-dominant and dominant legs.

Methods: 21 male college tennis students were recruited and randomly divided into OS-ND group, OS-N …
