The amounts of blast, large lymphocytes and mitotically divided cells were histologically and morphometrically studied in the thymus and spleen in 24 BALB/c female mice during exercises of varying intensity which were induced by swimming and during restricted mobility. The latter was found to cause a greater increase in the above cells in the spleen. The similar changes, though less pronounced, were noted in the thymus during intensive exercises. Moderate exercises and restricted mobility led to a reduction of the number of divided cells in the thymus, but doubled blasts and large lymphocytes.
