The effects of bed rest on cardiometabolic health: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal bed rest (HBR) and head‐down tilt (HDT) are models of physical inactivity. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to quantify changes in cardiometabolic outcomes during HBR and HDT in healthy adults. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library until 1 October 2025 ...

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

open access: yesExperimental 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.

Small muscle mass aerobic exercise in health and disease: Unique insights into muscle vascular and metabolic control and performance

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of small muscle mass exercise (SMME) have revealed that the peripheral O2 transport–utilization cascade is a dynamically regulated system in which perfusive and diffusive components can be selectively amplified, redistributed and mechanically limited depending on contraction pattern, recruitment strategy and intramuscular pressure ...

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.
