Figure 3

(A) shows weekly average SPA in the first, fifth and tenth weeks for the control (C) and trained (T) groups kept in small cage (SC) and large cage (LC). A time-of-day variation of SPA is exhibited in (B) demonstrating the robustness and sensibility of gravimetric method. This analysis considers all SPA records obtained in first, fifth and tenth weeks (N = 21 for each hour-time interval from 12:00 to 6:00 h). Animal handling (between 6:00 and 12:00 h) includes HIIT, cage cleaning and weighting control. SPA was measured on a per cage basis (10 mice per cage). Statistical significance symbols: a—different from SC-C, b—different from SC-T and c—different from LC-C within the same experimental week (P < 0.05).
