Distance run, peak oxygen uptake (VO2), and body weight (BW) data were obtained before and after ten weeks of experimental protocol from control (normotensive), sedentary spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and swimming-trained SHR (SHRt) ( per group). Only left ventricle weight : BW ratio (LVW : BW) was obtained after the experimental protocol has ended. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. versus control; versus SHR. versus before swimming training period.
