2026 Poster Session B

B14 - Developmental Physical Activity Restriction and Enhancement Program Long-Term Metabolic and Locomotor Phenotypes in Mice

Mentor: Paul Reidy, Ph.D.

Background: Physical activity and inactivity are known to have opposing impacts on an individual’s health throughout their lifespan. Less is known about how different levels of physical activity during early life stages can impact physical function later in life.

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of varying levels of physical activity in early life on physical function in early adulthood, and identifies indices of premature aging.
