Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the potential of moderate exercise training to counteract the negative impacts of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones on semen quality in Wistar rats.

Background

  • The study aims to assess the effectiveness of exercise in diminishing the detrimental effects of electromagnetic radiation on reproductive health.

Materials and Methods

Twenty four male Wistar rats, aged 10 weeks, were divided into four groups: control, exercise, radiation, and radiation with exercise. Specific groups were exposed to cell phone radiation or underwent exercise regimes.

Findings

  • Significant reduction in sperm count, progressivity, and normal morphology due to cell phone radiation exposure.
  • Improvement in sperm quality with exercise, particularly when combined with radiation exposure.

Conclusion

Moderate exercise may mitigate the adverse effects of cell phone radiation on semen quality, potentially enhancing male fertility.
