[Effect of a physical load and vitamin- and trace element-enriched feed on the reproductive function of white rats...

The effect of exercise and diet supplemented with vitamins and trace elements on the reproductive function of white rats exposed to 3-day hypokinesia was studied. Hypokinetic females in a regular diet produced offspring in 33% and those on an enriched diet in 50% cases. The same values were obtained in exercising rats, the time allowed for their exercises making 3% of the total experimental time. A combined use of an enriched diet and exercises resulted in a 100% increase of pupping events.
