Exercise Preconditioning Reduces Brain Damage and Accelerates Physical Rehabilitation in Rats with Cerebral Ischemia

The preconditioning effect of different exercise training modes on middle cerebral artery occlusion induced-behavioral deficit in senescent rats

“…It has been proposed that PA can be a beneficial preconditioning driver [ 15 ] involved in the brain repair process following ischemia [ 16 ]. There are a large number of studies indicating the alleviatory effect of preconditioning through PA concerning cerebral-induced injuries [ 17 , 18 ]. As shown by review of research on animals, PA exerted a neuroprotective effect before stroke, which resulted in fewer neurological deficits and minimal stroke [ 19 ].…”
