Question Re: Exercise shown to prevent aging in mice

I wonder what the results would be for mice treated with chemotherapy and support drugs, and how much exercise those mice would be capable of sustaining as they aged past middle age, compared to the mice who were not treated.

The accelerated loss of testosterone and estrogen with chemotherapy treatment affects the ability to develop and maintain muscle mass and bone mass.
