Objective(s): High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a shape of interval training that provides ameliorated athletic capacity and has a good effect on health. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol abundant in grapes and red wine and has been demonstrated to apply various useful health impacts on the body. This research aimed to evaluate the interactive effects of swimming HIIT and resveratrol consumption on SIRTs ۳ & ۴, NAD+/NADH, AMPK and SOD۲ expression in aged rats.Materials and Methods: In total, forty-five old male albino rats (Wistar) with the age of twenty months were allocated into ۵ groups randomly. Control group (Ctrl), Swimming HIIT group (Ex: Exercise), Swimming HIIT with Resveratrol consumption group (R+Ex), Resveratrol consumption group (R) and solvent of resveratrol consumption group (vehicle). R+Ex group accomplished the exercise and consumed resveratrol (۱۰ mg/kg/day, gavage) for ۶ weeks.Results: HIIT & resveratrol significantly increased NAD+/NADH, SOD ۲ and AMPK in the aged rats. HIIT increased SIRT۳, but resveratrol reduced it. As for SIRT۴, HIIT decreased it, while resveratrol positively affected it.Conclusion: Resveratrol and HIIT, especially their combination, have anti-oxidant and anti-aging effects on the hippocampus of old rats.
