It has been a long history that music therapy and aromatherapy are being used.Quantities researches prove that music therapy can stimulate organisms,and adjust nerve center,which can help the whole system of human body operate in the best condition and better the metabolism.It is also proved that aromatherapy can cure diseases,be germicide,and adjust moods.Therefore,they are widely used in medical treatment and health care.However,researches are rarely seen on which music therapy and aromatherapy have effect on sport ability of organism and anti-fatigue.This experiment aims at the research on the effects of some indexes concerning exercise-induced fatigue of rats being high-intensely trained in endurance,with the joint efforts of both music therapy and aromatherapy.It may provide experimental evidences for using music aromatherapy to fight exercise-induced fatigue.Feed and 24 male experimental SD rats,weighing180~220g are offered by breeding center for laboratory animal in Shaanxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute.Keep animals in a clean room at temperature of 23℃±5℃,humidity of 40~60%,with natural lighting.After 7 days acclimatization feeding in separated cages,the rats are selected by running at a rate of 15m/min,5min/d.Some rats that cannot adapt to a treadmill are eliminated,and the rest are divided into three groups at random: 8 in quiet group,8 in sports group and 8 in sports therapeutic group.The rats are trained for 6 weeks on a high-intensity endurance training treadmill.Then the rats in two sports groups were weighed and then executed with anesthesia following an exhausting exercise at last.day of the sixth week. Immediately take out heart,liver,brain,kidney and quadriceps femofis under ice saline wash,dry and weigh them with filter paper.Measure the data of heart coefficient,liver index so as to reflect the growth of sports rats;measure blood glucose,muscle glycogen,glycogen of liver and hemoglobin etc to obtain the indicators for metabolism function;measure LDH,CK to obtain the indicators reflecting the degree of damage to the organism;measure T and C to obtain rats changes in the level of exercise capacity index;measure MDA,GSH-Px of each organism to reflect the indicators of free-radical defense system.The result shows that:(1) music aromatherapy can restrain rats in from losing weight,protect and improve the function of their visceral organs so as to better their sports ability;(2) it could prolonged the distance that rats run on the treadmill in the exhausting exercise,which shows it is capable of anti-fatigue;(3) music aromatherapy could effectively hold up the decrease of HB caused from high-intensity endurance training,and promote the increase of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen(4) music aromatherapy has some effects of anti-lipid oxidation and free radical scavenging on visceral organs of sports rats such as heart,liver,kidney,brain and muscles.It can also restrain the changes of anti-oxidative enzyme made by exercises and protect visceral organs from being hurt in high-intensity endurance training.This indicates that music aromatherapy can improve antioxidant capacity of rats as a whole and fight exercise fatigue resulted from excessive free radicals;(5) music aromatherapy can adjust serum testosterone and cortisone to a certain degree, which shows that it can regulate and improve endocrine disorder of organism;(6) music aromatherapy may help relieve the mental fatigue of rats caused by training.Here are conclusions:music aromatherapy can stimulate organism.It can return disordered biological rhythm to normal and make all visceral organs run in the best condition.Owing to anti-lipid oxidation,it can put off the exercise-induced fatigue,which will improve the exercise ability of rats.At the same time,it may help relieve the mental fatigue of rats caused by training to a certain degree.However,the research is still open to be further explored that what is the exact mechanism that music aromatherapy has central effect on mental fatigue and exercise-induced muscular fatigue.
