A connection was found between when and how often the future father plays sports and the health of his children.. According to the Ohio University staff, an experiment with mice showed that even animals that ate fatty foods and suffered from obesity could conceive healthy offspring if they played sports before they conceived..

It is known that scientists divided rodents into groups depending on the level of physical activity. Some animals ran in the wheel. The rest of the rodents were sedentary.

So, the mice whose fathers were sedentary, more often had elevated sugar and quickly became diabetic than the offspring of mice running in the wheel.

At the same time, a number of rodent fathers ate well, while others ate junk food.. Regardless of the diet, physical activity changed the genetic profile for the better, as indicated by the analysis of sperm rodents fathers. It turned out that physical exertion changed the parts of DNA that were transmitted to the offspring.
