Exercise-induced changes in climbing performance
[10.1098/rsos.211275][FBrf0251956]

Description

The authors investigated how the climbing ability changes in response to a regular exercise schedule. They found extensive variation in baseline climbing ability and exercise-induced changes. Climbing ability, and its exercise-induced change, are sex- and genotype-dependent.

Comments from curator

Phenotyping data were extracted from Table S1, available on Figshare.

The exercise-treated flies were subjected to 2h/day exercise session (exercising in response to rotational stimulation on a Treadwheel), for 5 days. Physical fitness in the exercise-treated and control animals was assayed using a rapid iterative negative geotaxis (RING) assay to determine a climbing index for each fly line. With this measure, a larger climbing index indicates that the flies were able to climb the vial walls faster after having been knocked to the bottom of the enclosure (range of possible climbing indexes: 1–4).
