Love rats ... scientists have used rats to prove a theory that recular exercise can improve a man's sexual prowess

* Exercised rats show increased testosterone
* Being active also increases cardio health
* Women more promiscuous than men: survey

REGULAR exercise is good for a man's sexual prowess, according to new research which focused on swimming rats.

Scientists took two groups of rats aged two years old - relative old age for a rodent - and one team was then trained to swim in a tank for 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

The other group, used as a control, did nothing as the fitness regime continued for eight weeks.

The study was also replicated in a group of younger rats aged four months old and in both cases, the exercised rats showed increased testosterone levels and improved activity in the way they processed chemicals responsible for causing an erection.

"Regular exercise may ... improve an erection by increasing penile neurotransmitter and plasma testosterone levels in both young and aged rats," the study concludes.

The results of the Turkish study were released at the Congress of the European and International Societies for Sexual Medicine, which is underway this week in Brussels, Belgium.
