Neuromuscular Adaptations to Disuse (Paperback)

Deconditioning is an integrated physiological response of the body, or given body systems, to a reductionin in metabolic rate, usage, and/or mechanical loading. This book consists of a review of the current literature concisely covering and summarizing the pertinent research related to disuse-induced alterations of the neuromuscular system, and potential countermeasures to mitigate the negative consequences. Additionally, it presents a series of scientific experiments whose overall aim was to characterize the adaptations in the neurologic and skeletal muscle properties, and determine their relative contribution in the disuse-induced muscle weakness.
