Abstract: Motor learning is defined as the acquisition and retention of new motor skill. Aims. To study the influence of interval training (anakinetic stress through immobilization and physical exercise) on the motor learning capacity of rats. Material and methods. The sudy was made on 3 groups of male Wistar rats (n = 10 animals/group): Group I – controls – sedentary animals; Group II – exercise trained for 42 days; Group III – training for 21 days, preceded by alternating stress for 21 days (immobilization for 3 hours/day and physical exercise). Spatial learning capacity was evaluated using the Morris water maze. The time moments included in the study were T0, T21, T42. Results. Training for 21 days preceded by combined alternating stress through immobilization and exercise for 21 days (group III) has an unfavorable influence on the motor learning capacity at T21, with a significant increase in the latency time for learning and the control time, followed by decreases at T42, compared to initial values at T0. The number of rounds and diagonal distances increases in the learning period at T21 and then decreases significantly at T42, compared to initial values. There are no significant changes in the total time spent in quadrant D. Conclusions. Daily training contributes to the increase in the motor learning capacity. Interval training has an unfavorable influence on the motor learning capacity. Intermittent stress, through immobilization alternating with physical exercise, can be considered as an experimental model for interval training in sport.
