Description
Min-Jun Kim, Yeong-Jik Kim, and Tae-Beom Seo compare two forms of exercise after spinal cord injury in a 2025 study. Rats with injured cords did either treadmill or swimming exercise, and the team checked healing in the cord and brain. The work asks which form of training aids recovery more.
Thirty-two rats were split into four groups, and the exercise groups trained for four weeks after two weeks of rest. Both forms of exercise shrank the cavity at the injury site and raised a growth-linked protein. Treadmill training did more: it aided cell survival and calmed harmful astrocyte reactions in brain areas. The authors suggest treadmill work as a rehab strategy.
