Abstract

Abstract Overview

Introduction: With the rising use of electromagnetic devices, concerns about their harmful effects, particularly those impacting the hippocampus, have come to the forefront. Although the control of these hazards is often overlooked, regular physical exercises are highlighted as a safe, inexpensive, and broadly acceptable long-term prophylactic strategy.

Aim: This study primarily aims to explore the preventative effects of physical exercise on hippocampal damage caused by electromagnetic waves from Wi-Fi devices.

Material and Methods: The study involved adult male albino rats, divided into four distinct groups for controlled experiments involving physical activity and Wi-Fi exposure, followed by a detailed analysis using biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical techniques.

• Group I (control)
• Group II (exercise)
• Group III (Wi-Fi exposed)
• Group IV (exercise + Wi-Fi)

Results: It was noted that in Group III, exposed solely to Wi-Fi, there was a significant upsurge in oxidative enzymes and a reduction in antioxidant enzymes, along with neuronal degeneration in the hippocampus. Contrastingly, Group IV witnessed mitigated effects on these parameters thanks to physical exercise.

Conclusion: Regular physical activity substantially reduces the damage to the hippocampal region and offers protection against the chronic hazards posed by Wi-Fi radiation.
