Are you referencing the actual study? The article states, “The study involved restricting mice from using their hind legs, but not their front legs, over a period of 28 days.”
- colechristensen 8y agoYes. They achieve those restrictions by holding up the mouse by the tail so only the front legs are on the floor of the cage.
- mamon 8y agoWhich makes the whole study bullshit because what they actually measured was effects of stress not of the lack of leg exercise
- bcheung 8y agoThey also didn't control for other muscles so who's to say that it is specific to leg exercise, or even, sedentary life, living life at a 45 degree incline, too much blood flowing to the brain, or any other factor.
