The said findings indicate the followings: stamina exercising can resist cardiac muscle cell damages caused by isoproterenol, have a good function in promoting cardiac function recovery; its mechanism to resist ischemic damages is likely that medium intensity sports training is conducive to slowing down cTnI degradation and lowering the protein expression of Caspase 3 in order to reduce the apoptosis rate.
