Species from fish to lizards have similar responses to exercise. In their SI Review, Husak & Lailvaux suggest that this response plays a role in life-history strategies and advocate for considering exercise from a life-history perspective in future studies doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

A screenshot of the first page of the PDF of the SI Review Article, A life-history perspective on exercise, by Jerry Husak and Simon Lailvaux. The publication information states: © 2026. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2026) 229, jeb251271. doi:10.1242/jeb.251271. The first sentence of the abstract says, 'Exercise has been extensively studied in humans because of its multiple benefits, yet it is unclear how relevant ‘exercise’ is to nonhuman animals and whether the effects of exercise are identical to those in humans'.

A life-history perspective on exercise

Summary: The phenotypic responses to exercise are ancestral in vertebrates, but a lack of studies that restrict resources during training limits our knowledge of whether exercise-induced trade-offs are consistent or common.
