The effects of training and naftidrofuryl treatment were observed in 21-month-old Long-Evans rats. Rats were injected intraperitoneally twice daily for 8 weeks with 7 mg.kg-1 of naftidrofuryl acid (SN, TN), or with 7 mg.kg-1 fumaric acid (SC and TC) or used as solvent. Training groups (TC, TN) started a progressive 8-week training programme of treadmill exercise. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), hexokinase (HK), citrate synthase (CS) and 3-hydroxyacyl-Co-A-dehydrogenase (HAD), were measured in Soleus (SOL), Extensor Digitorum Longus (EDL) and Diaphragm (DIA) muscles. The mean VO2max value was 65 ml.min-1.kg-1 for 21-month-old rats. The training protocol induced increases in the mean VO2max values in the TC and TN groups, 71.8 and 74.4 ml.min-1.kg-1. In sedentary groups (SN), naftidrofuryl increased enzymatic activities (HK, CS, HAD) in the three muscles examined. When the animals underwent 8 weeks of physical training, the enzymatic activities (HK, CS, HAD) increased in SOL, EDL and DIA. When training was combined with naftidrofuryl treatment the increases in enzymatic activities were greater than those induced by training alone. However, the total changes did not differ for the sum of the changes produced by each condition alone.
