Recent studies show a probable relationship between physical training and functional recovery after a peripheral nerve lesion. Meanwhile, there is not na agreement about what kind of physical training should be elected to obtain best results.
The present research verifies influence of predominant aerobic and anaerobic physical exercises on functional recovery process on days 5, 10, 15 and 20 after rat's sciatic nerve crush, by a non-invasive method called sciatic static index. Statistical analysis was made with 0.05 significance level.
With variance analysis application it was observed an increment on functional recovery by the tests accomplished in days 15 and 20 after lesion to groups submitted to physical exercises. Latterly, it was employed Turkey test, which made possible to conclude that predominat aerobic and anaerobic exercises are not different on benefits offered in functional recovery process after peripheral nerve lesion.
Finally, two-way variance analysis demonstrated any influence in a significant manner the functional recovery process to analyzed groups, evidencing that physical exercises increase recuperation of nerve function.
Key words: sciatic trauma, physical exercise, functional recovery.
