According to the U.S. "Science and Technology Daily" recently reported, researchers at Binghamton University in New York State University and Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that endurance training can help reduce muscle inflammation.
Causes of muscle inflammation include infections, injuries and chronic illnesses, etc. When the immune system mistakenly attacks its own muscles, people develop specific types of myositis, such as autoimmune diseases such as dermatomyositis. Although there are some Prescription drugs can cure these diseases, but drugs can only work in half, and most of these drugs are directed at one or a group of immune cells, but they can not repair 'dying' muscles, and exercise can take good care of muscle cells.
The researchers randomly selected two groups of dermatomyositis patients, requiring one of them to engage in 12-week endurance training (such as continuous jumping, throwing solid ball, standing upright, elevated leg, etc.); the other group did not exercise, As a control group.The results show that endurance training can enhance aerobic metabolism, promote inflammation of the muscle healing.Scientists suggest that drug treatment and endurance training combined to improve the quality of life of patients with dermatomyositis.
