U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07178353) titled 'Human Skeletal Muscle Response to 5 Days of Bedrest in Young Adults' on Sept. 10.
Brief Summary: The goal of this intervention trial is to characterize skeletal muscle atrophy in healthy, young adults during short term bedrest. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How much do skeletal muscle volume, strength, and fatigue resistance decline during bedrest? How much does whole-body insulin sensitivity change during bedrest? How do mitochondrial function and protein synthesis change during bedrest?
Participants will undergo the following tests before and after a free-living control period and before and after a 5 day period of ...
