Abstract: The purpose of this trial was to explore the effect of thread-embedding therapy on exercise-induced fatigue.The exercise-induced fatigue rats were taken as the research object.36 SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group and treatment group,with 12 rats in each group.Thread-embedding therapy was performed on the treatment group before training,to study thread-embedding therapy for regulating energy metabolism in exercise-induced fatigue.After a 7-week training,except for the blank group,the exercise groups performed high-speed exhaustion exercises.The exercise time,energy metabolism-related indicators and fatigue-related biomarkers were measured and skeletal muscle sections were made.The results showed that compared with control group,the blood glucose and glycogen contents of the exercise groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05),and the contents of lactic acid,urea nitrogen and malondialdehyde were significantly increased (P<0.05).Pathological damage was observed under light microscopy of skeletal muscle sections.The ATP content and ATPase activity of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the model group (P<0.05),and the increase in creatine kinase content was lower than that of the model group.In summary,these results indicated that thread-embedding therapy made the body have more energy substances and fewer metabolites,and might regulate the body's energy metabolism level by improving oxidative stress and increasing energy supply,and delay the generation of exercise-induced fatigue.
