Fig 4. Decreased exploratory activity in the second day trial in offspring of exercised mothers indicates habituation.

Fig 4

Exploratory activity in offspring from the exercise group (EX) and control group (CTL) investigated for 5 min (n = 14 in each group) and 10 min (EX n = 22 and CTL; n = 21) at P60 and P61. For both the 5- and 10-min investigation periods, a significant decrease in peripheral locomotion was detected in the EX group between the first and second trial (*p < 0.05; one-way ANOVA with repeated measures; Bonferroni post hoc). No significant difference in central, peripheral, or total locomotion was found in the CTL group between the first and the second trial. In the second trial of the 10-min investigation period, central, peripheral, and total locomotion were lower in the EX group relative to the CTL group (#p < 0.05; one-way ANOVA with repeated measures; Bonferroni post hoc).
