The rats were sacrificed at 2d, 5d, 7d, 10d, 14d, 21d, 28d, 30d, 35d and 56d after blunt contusion, and were tested by electromyography. The recovery of gastrocnemius muscle was observed, the resting potential was recorded and the changes of CMAP were inducted during recovery. Results show that: (1) spontaneous potential: the Daube score of spontaneous potential in Group E was significantly lower than that in group C at 21d, 28d and 35d, and that in group D was significantly lower than that in group C on 28d. (2) CMAP latency ratio: the latency of group E was significantly lower than that of group B at 14d, 28d and 35d, significantly lower than that of group C at 14d, 21d, 28d and 35d, and significantly lower than that of group D at 35d. (3) CMAP amplitude ratio: the amplitude of group D was significantly higher than that of group B at 35d and 56d, and that of group E was significantly higher than that of group B at 10d, 14d, 28d, 35d and 56d; the amplitude of group D and E was significantly higher than that of group C at 10 d, 14 d, 21d, 28d, 35d and 56d; the amplitude of group E was significantly higher than that of group D at 10 d and 56d. The study indicates that: during the recovery process of gastrocnemius contusion, aerobic exercise 48 hours after injury can aggravate the abnormal spontaneous potential, prolong the latent period of CMAP, and reduce the recovery speed of amplitude, which is not conducive to the recovery of gastrocnemius contusion and reinnervation of peripheral nerve; after 7 days, incremental aerobic exercise and constant load aerobic exercise can promote the disappearance of abnormal spontaneous potential, shorten the latent period of CMAP, improve the recovery speed of amplitude, which is conducive to the repair and reinnervation of damaged skeletal muscle.
