Physical Inactivity and Muscle Health Recovery
(IRB#: IRB_00130232)
Times of physical inactivity such as illness, recovery from surgery, or injury in older adults and those who are overweight may harm muscle health. Research is needed to learn how different markers such as hormones and proteins in the blood and muscle respond to physical activity and recovery. The information we gain may allow us to better design ways to help muscle health when older adults or those who are overweight become physically inactive and have rehabilitation.
