Study Notes
- Physical activity interventions can restore skeletal muscle mass and function after a disuse event.
- Reambulation may be sufficient to restore lost muscle in younger individuals.
- Resistance training is the most effective intervention to augment skeletal muscle mass and function.
- The response to resistance training varies between individuals and across the age spectrum.
- Older individuals have a diminished capacity to recover from disuse-induced muscle atrophy.
- A multifaceted approach is necessary for older individuals and those who have undergone prolonged disuse or catabolic event.
- Nutritional strategies to prevent or curtail disuse-induced muscle atrophy are promising in animal models.
- Human investigations on nutritional approaches are inconsistent.
- Combining loading activity- and nutrition-based approaches will confer the greatest benefits to restore muscle mass and function.
- An appropriate nutritional strategy can accelerate the rate at which an individual returns to their predisuse event condition.
