Abstract

Regular physical exercise is known to lower the incidence of age-related eye diseases. We aimed to assess the acute chorioretinal alterations in older adults following intense physical strain. Seventeen senior elite athletes were recruited who underwent an aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer and macular scanning by optical coherence tomography. A significant thinning of the entire retina was observed 1 min after exercise, followed by a thickening at 5 min, after which the thickness returned to baseline. This trend was similar in almost every single retinal layer, although a significant change was observed only in the inner retina. Choroidal thickness changes were neither significant nor did they correlate with the thickness changes of intraretinal layers. The mechanism of how these immediate retinal changes chronically impact age-related sight-threatening pathologies that, in turn, result in a substantially reduced quality of life warrants further investigation on nontrained older adults as well.

高强度体育锻炼对老年优秀运动员急性脉络膜视网膜改变的影响。

有规律的体育锻炼可以降低老年性眼病的发病率。我们的目的是评估老年人在剧烈体力劳动后的急性绒毛膜视网膜改变。招募了17名高级优秀运动员，他们在自行车测力仪上进行有氧运动，并通过光学相干断层扫描进行黄斑扫描。运动后1分钟观察到整个视网膜明显变薄，随后在5分钟变厚，之后厚度恢复到基线。这种趋势在几乎每一层视网膜中都是相似的，尽管只有在视网膜内部观察到明显的变化。脉络膜厚度变化不显著，也与视网膜内层厚度变化无关。这些即时视网膜变化如何慢性影响与年龄相关的视力威胁病理，进而导致生活质量大幅下降的机制，值得在未经训练的老年人中进一步研究。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults. In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
