Abstract:
The study investigated whether long-term swimming exercise prevents age-related changes in rat somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and somatosensory cortex (SC) morphology. A total of 25 9-month-old rats were assigned to an exercise or control group. The exercise group swam 1 h/day five times weekly for 1 year. The results showed that long-term exercise prevented age-related changes in SEPs and SC morphology.
