Adaptational response to endurance training 2. Sensorimotor capacity (coordination) Long-term, we want to make these models available for others to study. [The NIH has provided resources to make the Intrinsic Aerobic Rats available for small-scale studies]. We have collaborations with 10 institutions, but no formal, systematic plans for studying these models. Pennington UCSD U Kansas Laval (Can.) Yale Bouchard Wagner Gonzales St. Amand U.
