Exercise post-juvenile irradiation attenuates muscle force generation capacity deficits. EDL (left) and soleus (right) ex vivo muscle physiology force readouts. a, d Representative 500 ms 150 Hz stimulation muscle force (mN) trace. b, e Maximal absolute force (mN) generated at 150 Hz stimulation. c, f Maximal specific force (mN/mm²) generated at 150 Hz stimulation. n = 3–7 mice per condition. Two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons, *p < 0.05, **^/##p < 0.01, ***^/###p < 0.001, ****^/####p < 0.0001. Isolated asterisks denote ANOVA group effect of exercise, and isolated pound signs denote ANOVA group effect of radiation. Data displayed as mean ± s.e.m
