There are some evidences suggesting that physical performance may be hampered in trained rodents because of captivity-induced problems (limited cage space). Here, our objective was to evaluate the effects of housing space on aerobic performance in chronically exercised rats. We used healthy adult male rats (Rattus norvegicus Albinus, Wistar), which were kept in a room with a controlled environment, including the temperature (23 ± 1 °C), relative humidity (45-55%), noise (
