Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Activity and Bone Health
TL;DR: Evidence from multiple small randomized, controlled trials suggests that the following exercise prescription will augment bone mineral accrual in children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in musculoskeletal structure and function with prolonged bed rest.
TL;DR: A review of the various models used by researchers to study disuse-induced changes in muscle and bone as observed during prolonged bed rest in humans is presented in this paper, showing that most of the lost muscle mass and strength can be regained with appropriate resistance training within several weeks after a period of disuse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exercise and lack of exercise on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: One bout of exercise after 11 days without exercise returned insulin binding and the insulin and glucose responses to an oral 100-g glucose load almost to the initial "trained" value, which support the hypothesis that residual effects of the last bouts of exercise play an important role in this phenomenon.
Journal Article
An overview of the issues : physiological effects of bed rest and restricted physical activity : Physiological effects of bed rest and restricted physical : an update
TL;DR: This symposium presents an overview of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal deconditioning associated with reduced physical work capacity following prolonged bed rest and exercise training regimens that have proven successful in ameliorating or reversing these adverse effects.
