Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Muscle strain is very common in sports. The animal model of the muscle strain is an important way for the scientific research.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and summarize questions related to mechanism and animal model establishment of muscle strain.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI database, Highwire database and PubMed database was performed to collect articles published between January 1980 and December 2010 with the key words of “muscle strain, animal model” in Chinese and English, respectively. Articles that highly correlated with current status and the development of muscle strain animal model were considered.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 168 articles were collected, and 31 articles were included to summary. Some scholars have created animal models of skeletal muscle injuries, which is useful for further research. However, acute animal model of muscle strain could not show the characters of sports in muscle strains. Therefore, it was very important to create an acute animal model that simulates exercise-induced acute strain, in order to provide basis for the further study on muscle structure, functions and pathology.
