Exercise can lead to more regular sleep patterns, an improved immune system, better brain function and a longer life, research suggests.
Glasgow University scientists found that old mice took longer to adapt to changes to their daily routine, but that their synchronisation improved if they had access to a running wheel.
Scientists adjusted the light and dark exposure of lab mice to advance their body clocks by eight hours and then returned them to a natural cycle.
The body clock is controlled by region deep in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is connected to the optic nerve in the eyes.
