Fig 2. Strength exercise decreases aerobic exercise-induced cognitive function improvements, as indicated by the Morris water maze test.

(A). Outline of the experiment. The Morris water maze test was performed after 8 weeks of training. Each group of rats was trained with the hidden platform for 6 days, and on the seventh day, the platform was removed. Quantitative analysis of the swimming speed on the first day (B), the latency to the platform for six days of training (C), the number of platform crosses in the probe test (D), and the time spent in the target quadrant (E). Data are shown as the mean ± SEM; **, p < 0.01, *, p < 0.05; one-way ANOVA; n = 8.
