Situations such as recovery from injury or illness require otherwise healthy humans to
undergo periods of disuse, which lead to considerable losses of skeletal muscle mass and …

Periods of immobilisation are often associated with pathologies and/or ageing. These
periods of muscle disuse induce muscle atrophy which could worsen the pathology or …

Sarcopenia is characterized by decreases in both muscle mass and muscle function. The
loss of muscle mass, which can precede decrements in muscle function, is ultimately rooted …

Muscle atrophy and weakness occur as a consequence of disuse after musculoskeletal
injury (MSI). The slow recovery and persistence of these deficits even after physical …

Preserving skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity is essential for healthy ageing.
Transient periods of disuse and/or inactivity in combination with sub-optimal dietary intake …

Age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and performance, commonly referred to as
sarcopenia, has wide-ranging detrimental effects on human health, the ramifications of …

A loss of body weight or skeletal muscle mass is common in older persons and is a
harbinger of poor outcome. Involuntary weight loss can be categorized into three primary …

Short successive periods of muscle disuse, due to injury or illness, can contribute
significantly to the loss of muscle mass with aging (sarcopenia). It has been suggested that …

The underlying cause of sarcopenia and dynapenia (age‐related strength loss) are not fully
elucidated, but may be the result, or combination, of alterations in lifestyle or inflammatory …

Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that occurs with aging, is
associated with increased risk for several adverse health outcomes, including frailty …
