    Exhaustive swimming exercise causes temporary degenerative changes in rat ventricular myocardium, including myofilament disorganization and mitochondrial swelling. These cardiac effects are reversible, with recovery observed within 48 hours post-exercise.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Exercise Science
    • Cardiovascular Biology

    Background:

    • Exercise-induced cardiac stress can lead to myocardial alterations.
    • Understanding the temporal dynamics of these changes is crucial for assessing exercise safety and adaptation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the immediate and short-term degenerative changes in rat ventricular myocardium following exhaustive swimming exercise.
    • To determine the reversibility of exercise-induced myocardial damage.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats underwent exhaustive swimming exercise.
    • Ventricular myocardium samples were collected immediately after exercise and at 12, 24, and 48 hours post-exercise.
    • Microscopic examination focused on myofilament organization, mitochondrial structure, and nuclear changes.

    Main Results:

    • Immediate post-exercise revealed myofilament hypercontraction/disorganization and mitochondrial swelling with cristae disorganization.
    • Nuclear heterochromatin increased, and these changes peaked between 1-2 hours.
    • Myocardial structure approached control levels by 12-48 hours, indicating reversibility.

    Conclusions:

    • Exhaustive swimming exercise induces acute, reversible degenerative changes in rat ventricular myocardium.
    • The observed cardiac myocyte alterations are transient and resolve within 48 hours after cessation of exercise.
