Effects of Resistance Training Preconditioning on Skeletal Muscle Recovery From a Period of Disuse in Young Adults

View on ClinicalTrials.gov Updated Dec 15, 2025

Brief 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.

Interventions

Name: Resistance Training Preconditioning
Type: OTHER
Description: Resistance training prior to disuse-induced atrophy followed by another period of resistance training
Name: Control
Type: OTHER
Description: Activities of daily living prior to disuse-induced atrophy followed by a period of resistance training

Primary Outcomes

Measure: Change in vastus lateralis fiber cross-sectional area
TimeFrame: Through completion of study, 16 weeks
Description: Upon the procurement and analysis of muscle from the vastus lateralis of participants, histological techniques will be used to assess fiber cross-sectional area of muscle fibers
Measure: Change in quadriceps strength via 3 repetition maximum testing
TimeFrame: Through completion of study, 16 weeks
Description: Strength of the quadriceps will be assessed via 3-repetition maximum testing of select exercises (leg press, leg extension, hex-bar deadlift)
Measure: Change in quadriceps strength via isokinetic dynamometry
TimeFrame: Through completion of study, 16 weeks
Description: Strength of the quadriceps will be assessed via isokinetic dynamometry
