Description:

I catch up with my old friend Alex Ritson to discuss the effect of bed rest and immobilization on body composition and performance.

Just how big a deal is taking time out from training during injury? What are the drawbacks? Can they be prevented? Is there anything you can do in the intern?

We cover a wide range of topics, incudling:

- Just how quickly can you lose muscle mass when bed bound? - The physiological mechanisms of muscle loss - Nutrition interventions to offset muscle wastage  - Training interventions to preserve muscle mass  - Sarcopenia and its role in muscle wasting - Is weight gain inevitable during injury?  - And much more.
