Summary

This study aims to understand how muscle health recovers after a period of disuse, like being in a cast. Researchers will immobilize one leg of healthy volunteers for two weeks, then measure muscle size and strength before and after. The study includes both younger (18-35) and older (60-85) adults to see how age affects recovery.
