Greater loss in muscle mass and function but smaller metabolic alterations in older compared to younger men following two weeks of bed rest and recovery

in this unique article we presented an interaction between physical inactivity and age. After physical inactivity we confirmed higher muscle mass and function loss in older participants, bigger metabolic alterations in younger. After rehabilitation those alterations in older participatns recovered (some did not) slower.

Active workstation allows office workers to work efficiently while sitting and exercising moderately

Exercise on a working place, without work interuption seems to be an optimal solution for worker and employee. We proposed and validated an active working place tha enables moderate physical exercise with higher working efficiency.

Age-related differences in plasma BDNF levels after prolonged bed rest

We have provided evidence that BDNF levels remained after 14-days of physical inactivity but only if those participants conducted cognitive exercise during physical inactivity period.

Skeletal muscle oxidative function in vivo and ex vivo in athletes with marked hypertrophy from resistance training

Oxidative function during exercise was evaluated in athletes with marked skeletal muscle hypertrophy induced by long-term resistance training. In those athletes we found greater muscle mass and maximal force, and the enhanced mitochondrial respiration that seem to compensate for the hypertrophy-induced impaired peripheral O2 diffusion. The net results are an enhanced whole body oxidative function at peak exercise, and unchanged efficiency and O2 cost at submaximal exercise, despite a much greater body mass

Computerized spatial navigation training during 14 days of bed rest in healthy older adult men

We have provided evidence that computerized cognitive training during 14-day of physical inactivity in elderly has positive effects on cognitive as well as in phyical levels. In combination with achievement #1 this has very large clinical relevance.
