title: [Effect of neutron and gamma radiation on physical endurance of rats in the swimming test].
abstract: Three groups of adult male Wistar rats were exposed to neutrons (a single dose of 2 Gy) and gamma radiation (a continuous dose of 6 Gy delivered within 10.5 days) and a combination of both types of radiation. The physical fitness of irradiated and control rats was measured using a forced swimming test in the course and after the termination of the irradiation. A marked decrease in the physical fitness of all irradiated animals was followed by its normalization 3 weeks after irradiation.
