Figure 4. Longitudinal-characterization of locomotor activity during aging.

Figure 4

Mean for the age tested represented by horizontal line and the locomotor activities of test subjects represented by points. The young group was tested at 4 and 12 months and the old group tested at 22 and 30 months. a. movement number (ANOVA, group p<0.0001; post-hoc 12 vs. 30 mos, p<0.05): aging difference within group, 4 vs. 12 mos., p<0.05; 22 vs. 30 mos., p<0.05 (Student's paired t-test used for all within group comparisons). b. horizontal activity (ANOVA, group p<0.0001; post-hoc 12 vs. 30 mos., p<0.01): aging difference within group, 4 vs. 12 mos., p<0.05; 22 vs. 30 mos., p<0.05. c. time spent moving (ANOVA, group p<0.0001; post-hoc 12 vs. 30 mos., p<0.05): aging difference within group, 4 vs. 12 mos., p<0.05; 22 vs. 30 mos., p<0.05. Data not shown: total distance (ANOVA, group p<0.0001; post-hoc 12 vs. 30 mos, p<0.05): age difference within group, 4 vs. 12 mos., p<0.05; 22 vs. 30 mos., p>0.05, and movement velocity (ANOVA, group p<0.005; post-hoc 12 vs. 30 mos., p>0.05): aging difference within group, 4 vs. 12 mos., p<0.05; 22 vs. 30 mos., p<0.05.
