Description

Can active exercise shorten the time it takes an infant to walk alone? Twelve, one week old, male infants from white, middle-class families were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. Those in the active-exercise group received stimulation of the walking reflexes during four 3 minute sessions each day from the beginning of the second through the end of the eighth week. Those in the other group received no stimulation.
