Oral antibiotics reduce voluntary exercise behavior in athletic mice. [PDF]
The gut microbiome can affect various aspects of both behavior and physiology, including exercise ability, but effects on voluntary exercise have rarely been studied. We studied females from a selection experiment in which 4 replicate High Runner (HR) lines of mice are bred for voluntary exercise and compared with 4 non-selected control (C) lines.

Voluntary wheel running: patterns and physiological effects in mice
Exercise can prevent and improve the pathophysiology of diseases and promote healthy aging. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that regulate the beneficial effects of exercise may lead to the development of new strategies to enhance quality of life and ...

Effects of acute fatigue on the volitional and magnetically-evoked electromechanical delay of the knee flexors in males and females [PDF]
Neuromuscular performance capabilities, including those measured by evoked responses, may be adversely affected by fatigue; however, the capability of the neuromuscular system to initiate muscle force rapidly under these circumstances is yet to be ...

Voluntary exercise can strengthen the circadian system in aged mice [PDF]
Consistent daily rhythms are important to healthy aging according to studies linking disrupted circadian rhythms with negative health impacts. We studied the effects of age and exercise on baseline circadian rhythms and on the circadian system's ability ...

Voluntary exercise increases axonal regeneration from sensory neurons [PDF]
Recent advances in understanding the role of neurotrophins on activity-dependent plasticity have provided insight into how behavior can affect specific aspects of neuronal biology. We present evidence that voluntary exercise can prime adult dorsal root ganglion neurons for increased axonal regeneration through a neurotrophin-dependent ...

Exercise Increases Pressure Pain Tolerance but Not Pressure and Heat Pain Thresholds in Healthy Young Men [PDF]
Background: Exercise causes an acute decrease in the pain sensitivity known as exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), but the specificity to certain pain modalities remains unknown.

Voluntary Aerobic Exercise Reverses Frailty in Old Mice [PDF]
Frailty is a major cause of disability and loss of independence in the elderly. Using clinically relevant criteria from our previously established mouse frailty index, we investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on frailty in male C57BL/6 mice. In order to measure the effect of treatment on the individual animals, we constructed a composite score ...
