Exercise improves health in mobility restricted flies. (A) Lifespan is improved in CI female flies that complete 3 weeks of exercise when compared to unexercised, restrained siblings. (B) In this biological cohort, exercised female flies that undergo CI improve mobility but do not reach the capacity of freely moving control flies. Exercised male flies that undergo CI have better lifespan (C) and mobility (D) than unexercised siblings. n > 200 flies per experiment, exercise, mobility and longevity experiments were repeated a minimum of 3 times. Longevity analyzed by log-rank, mobility analyzed by linear regression, looking for differences in slope and intercept.
