FIGURE 1.

Effects of exercise and fucoidan on forelimb grip strength and endurance. Comparing pre‐treatment to post‐treatment period, there was no effect of vehicle (VEH) or fucoidan (FUC) treatment on absolute grip strength (a) or grip strength normalized to body mass (b) in either no‐exercise groups. Four weeks of moderate exercise did not significantly affect grip strength (c) or grip strength normalized to body mass (d) in either VEH+EX or FUC+EX groups. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 8 for control, n = 10 for fucoidan, n = 10 for control + exercise, and n = 10 for fucoidan + exercise
