Abstract: Continuous aerobic training versus accumulated training, a comparison of their performance and effects in an animal modelIntroduction: Since 1995, entities that regulate the practice of physical exercises have suggested that, for health maintenance, they must be performed in continuous or accumulated throughout the day sessions. In a recent publication in 2011 this recommendation was reinforced by the American College of Sports Medicine. The question that is still not well understood is: Does exercise performed cumulatively by two or more times throughout the day is as effective in promoting the health benefits as exercise performed continuously in a single daily session? Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic exercise training performed in a continuous versus accumulated form on aerobic performance of Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Our sample consisted of 16 male Wistar rats, with initial weights around 300 g and 90 days of life, who trained for a period of 10 weeks continuously (TC) and total (TA) in the aquatic environment. Results: after training only the TC group had increased aerobic performance compared to controls (sedentary). Conclusion: The proposed aerobic training is carried out continuously higher to improve aerobic performance of Wistar rats when compared to a similar training performed cumulatively.
