BROOKS, AND Systems ROBERT Center, University CASSENS of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 5.3706 Laboratory and Instrumentation is described for constructing a safe electrical shocking apparatus to be used in conjunction with investigator-fabricated or commercially available small-animal treadmills. A continuous, highvoltage, current-limited source is obtained by modification of a commercially available fence charger. The resulting unit produces a’relatively constant 60-Hz current over a wide range of load (animal) resistances. Maximum output voltage and current are 1,200 v and 7 ma, respectively. Within these limits various seriesparallel combinations of resistors can be used to effect the desired voltage and current characteristics. Total cost amounts to less than $20. exertion; exercise stress; exercise apparatus; electrical shocker A. BROOKS, AND ROBERT MYLREA, KENNETH C., GEORGE CASSENS.

THE USE of a motor-driven treadmill to force animals to exercise possesses several advantages with regard to the quantification of exercise (3). However, the cost of commercially available treadmills and shocking
