Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.
