简要总结
This is a 10-week human study involving 24 younger (20-35 y) and 24 older (65-85 y) healthy individuals. All participants will undergo unilateral immobilization of a knee for 7-10 days, followed by 4 weeks of heavy resistance exercise training (HReT). Half of the participants (12 younger and 12 older) will also undergo 4 weeks HReT prior to the immobilization. Prehabilitative exercise may confer protective effects on subsequent immobilization, and the various underlying mechanisms involved
