We investigated whether wheel running for just 30 min on 5 days each week, an exercise
routine based on recommended levels of physical activity for adults, regulates body weight …

Purpose Determine whether voluntary wheel running triggers compensatory changes in
nonexercise activity in lean and high-fat diet fed mice. Methods C57Bl/6 mice received a …

Objective: Mice from a long-term selective breeding experiment for high voluntary wheel
running offer a unique model to examine the contributions of genetic and environmental …

Purpose To determine the effect of a high-fat or high-carbohydrate diet and running wheel
activity on body composition, body mass, and caloric intake in C57Bl/6 mice. Methods At four …

Voluntary wheel running (WR) is a form of physical activity in rodents that influences
ingestive behavior. The present report describes an anorexic behavior triggered by the …

We evaluated the effect of voluntary exercise on spontaneous physical activity (SPA) and
food consumption in mice from 4 replicate lines bred for 57 generations for high voluntary …

Physical activity is an important component of energy expenditure, and acute changes in
activity can lead to energy imbalances that affect body composition, even under ad libitum …

Adult male and female rats were housed in a sedentary condition or given free access to a
running wheel for 50 days. Running wheel activity of female rats was higher than that of …

Background Though voluntary wheel running (VWR) has been used extensively to induce
changes in both behavior and biology, little attention has been given to the way in which …

Voluntary wheel running in the mouse is used to assess physical performance and
endurance and to model exercise training as a way to enhance health. Wheel running is a …
