INTRODUCTION: Exercise is an important therapeutic strategy for preventing and treating myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, the myocardial effects of resistance exercise on infarcted hearts are not completely established. In this study, we investigated the effects of resistance exercise on structural, functional, and molecular cardiac alterations in infarcted rats. METHODS: Three months after MI induction or simulated surgery, Wistar rats were assigned into three groups: Sham ( n = 14); MI ( n = 9); and exercised MI (MI-Ex, n = 13)...
