ex0429: Exercise and Walking Time
Description
Can active exercise shorten the time it takes an infant to walk alone?
Twelve, one week old, male infants from white, middle-class families
were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. Those in the
active-exercise group received stimulation of the walking reflexes
during four 3 minute sessions each day from the beginning of the
second through the end of the eighth week. Those in the other group
received no stimulation.source
