Average of exercise time (seconds) per 10 min during 3 to 10 weeks of age in ICR
mice. Mice were housed in 4 groups and the exercise data represents 4 cages of mice.
Enriched exercise includes climbing, passing, and overstepping the three types of
obstacles. Other exercise included locomotion and climbing the cage lid without
touching the obstacles. In both sexes, there was a significant difference between
the enriched exercise group and control (t238=5.76;
P<0.01, t238=3.04; P<0.01),
according to unpaired Student’s t-tests.
**P<0.01, n=20 per group.
