Blood Flow Restricted Electrical Stimulation During Immobilisation
Following injury or surgery to a limb, it is often immobilised to allow tissue healing. Short periods of disuse cause loss of muscle size and strength and impaired mechanical properties of tendons, which leads to reduced…

Atrophy, Disuse, Insulin Resistance
Bedrest, Feeding Pattern, and Insulin Sensitivity
In the present study, the investigators will assess the impact of two different feeding patterns (continuous vs intermittent) on insulin sensitivity and muscle mass following bedrest.

Examining Sex-based Differences in Metabolic and Mechanistic Responses to Disuse Induced Muscle Atrophy
The purpose of the proposed research is to define whether there are differences between females and males (i.e. sex-based differences) in the metabolic and mechanistic regulation of disuse-induced muscle atrophy in vivo in humans.
