Declines in skeletal muscle quality vs. size following two weeks of knee joint immobilization [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Disuse of a muscle group, which occurs during bedrest, spaceflight, and limb immobilization, results in atrophy. It is unclear, however, if the magnitude of decline in skeletal muscle quality is similar to that for muscle size.
