Maternal exercise before and during pregnancy does not impact offspring exercise or body composition in mice

Conclusions: The current results conflict with previous findings in human and mouse models demonstrating that maternal exercise has the potential to alter offspring phenotypes. We discuss our negative findings in the context of the timing of the maternal exercise and the level of biological organization of the examined phenotypes within the offspring.
