Does prior exercise affect muscle volume after 7 d of leg immobilisation?
31 May 2018
A period of leg immobilisation such as might result from a sporting injury is associated with changes in skeletal muscle. This study will investigate what changes occur in response to 7 days of single leg immobilisation when preceded by a bout of leg exercise. Ultimately, we hope to discover new strategies to maintain muscle size and health during periods of immobilisation.
