Effects of bed rest and immobilization on intramuscular and intermuscular adipose tissue: A systematic review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse caused by bed rest and immobilization is associated with muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, which might be related to increases in intramuscular fat (IntraMAT) and intermuscular fat (InterMAT) accumulation. In this systematic review, we compiled evidence on the effects of bed rest and unilateral lower‐limb immobilization on ...

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.

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

Experimental 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

Experimental 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.
