This may suggests that muscle could enhance metabolic recovery before hypertrophy per se in response to RT following muscle disuse.

We propose that prior exposure to short-term muscle unloading may drive the nature of molecular adaptations to subsequent RT.

Because during inactivity marked loss of muscle power, strength and mass are observed practitioners may tend to favour resistance exercise (RT) as an ideal recovery strategy.

Indeed, RT was successful in recovering functional & structural muscle properties after 10 days of ULLS

With an integrative physiological approach, we aimed to elucidate the basic mechanisms of muscle function recovery after 21 days of resistance exercise that followed 10 days of unilateral lower limb suspension (ULLS) in humans
