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. |
