Summary
This study aims to understand how muscles recover after a period of disuse in healthy adults aged 18-35 and 60-85. Participants will have one leg immobilized for two weeks, and researchers will measure changes in muscle volume and strength using MRI and strength tests. The goal is to learn more about the role of immune cells in muscle recovery, which could help develop strategies to prevent muscle loss in aging and disease.
