The present study was to clarify the relationship between voluntary exercise and follicular growth or ovulation. Rats kept for 4 weeks in a rotating drum with free access to the wheel, food and water ran 2-12 km per day. The number of ova shed after superovulation treatments and the number of non-atretic follicles were not influenced by voluntary exercise. These experiments demonstrate that spontaneous voluntary exercise does not affect either the number of ova shed or the number of non-atretic follicles in superovulating rats or control rats.
