- Abstract: Objective: Physical activity exerts effects on central nervous system (CNS) since exercise triggers expression of neurotrophic molecules and stimulates CNS plasticity. Furthermore, it is possible that potential protective effects promoted by physical activity on lesioned CNS depend on the injury type. Methods and Results: Adult rats, trained on a treadmill for 4 weeks, and sedentary rats were submitted to a moderate spinal cord injury by dropping a 10g rod (25mm distance) using the NYU Impactor. A group of sedentary rats were submitted to a sham operation. Rats received methypredinisolone just after the contusion and 2 hours later. Trained group has continued running on treadmill after spinal cord lesion for 4 weeks. The motor behavior was evaluated by BBB score and by a computerized infrared motion sensor activity monitor. Decreased BBB scores were found in lesioned rats at the time-points, however a spontaneous recovery occurred post surgery. BBB score was smaller in the sedentary group compared to trained rats by 7 days post lesion, however no further differences were found between lesioned groups after 7 days. The infrared monitor also showed significant differences between lesioned sedentary and trained rats only at 7 days post spinal cord lesion. Conclusion: Physical activity may be important for functional recovery after a spinal cord contuse injury
