Effects of high-intensity interval training on physical and cognitive function in middle-aged male mice by Justin C. Stephenson, Tuan D. Tran, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber

“…Although numerous studies have elucidated the benefits ofexercise per se, the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a middle-aged population is less well-studied.ObjectiveOur primary purpose was to assess the effect of 3 months of HIIT on physical and cognitive performance in middle-aged (17-month-old at the end) male C57BL/6J mice compared to sedentary controls (SED). We hypothesized that exercised mice would be resistant to age-related decline in cognitive and physical ability.MethodsTo measure physical function, we used the well-validated comprehensive functional assessment battery (CFAB) scoring system, comprised of determinants including voluntary wheel running, inverted cling, grip test, treadmill maximum speed, and rotarod performance. …”
