| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to establish an intermittent exercise model based on the convergent evolution of locomotion and to elucidate its energy efficiency and effects on physical and mental functions. In Experiment 1, we successfully established intermittent exercise models for both rats and mice. Experiment 2 revealed that intermittent exercise promotes lipid metabolism and conserves muscle glycogen, demonstrating an anti-fatigue effect. It was also confirmed that the neural mechanism of this effect likely involves glycogen conservation in the metabolic center, the hypothalamus. Experiment 3 demonstrated that intermittent exercise maintained post-exercise physical activity levels and core body temperature, which typically decline. These results suggest that intermittent exercise is an energy-efficient form of exercise that reduces fatigue and prevents post-exercise declines in activity levels.
