Abstract
⺠Aerobic capacity correlates positively with cognitive abilities. ⺠It is not known whether this is due to acquired or innate aerobic capacity. ⺠We trained rats bred for endurance running capacity in tasks requiring flexible cognition. ⺠Rats with intrinsically high running capacity outperformed those with low capacity.
