Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Leber's disease, which is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA, affects human endurance. We compared cardiopulmonary endurance in patients with Leber's disease and visually impaired subjects with other diseases. We also investigated whether maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic work thresholds of patients with Leber's disease could be improved by 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training. Results showed that patients with Reber's disease had lower maximal oxygen uptake and lower anaerobic work threshold than visually impaired patients with other diseases. Furhermore, the patients with Reber's disease showed improvement in maximal oxygen uptake, but not in anaerobic work threshold after 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は,ミトコンドリアDNAの変異により発症するレーベル病患者の持久力,及び持久力に対するトレーニング効果を明らかにすることにより,レーベル病患者において視覚障害者スポーツの競技を選択する際の判断材料として使用できると考えられる.また,レーベル病患者が日常生活を送る際に必要な体力を維持,改善するための方法を考える上での重要な基礎資料となると考えられる.
