Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of resistance training (RT) preconditioning vs no training on disuse-induced atrophy and post-disuse resistance training in young healthy individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine if performing RT prior to a period of disuse enhances the regain of strength, skeletal muscle size, and skeletal muscle quality while performing RT after a period of disuse. - To determine if performing RT prior to a period of disuse dampens the maladaptive effects of disuse on muscle size, muscle quality, and strength. - To determine the anabolic and proteolytic mechanisms underpinning the observed outcomes. Participants will: 1. Perform either 6 weeks of resistance training or maintain an untrained lifestyle 2. Perform 2 weeks of limb immobilization induced disuse of a randomized leg 3. Perform 6 weeks of resistance training Researchers will compare the resistance training preconditioning condition vs the non-trained condition to see if resistance training prior to a period of disuse is beneficial during the disuse period and in the return to training period on skeletal muscle size, strength, and underpinning molecular markers.
