This study examines sex differences in muscle volume, strength, and motor unit properties during bed rest and retraining in young males and females, finding no sex differences in strength loss but greater MU firing rate reduction in females.

This study examines changes in motor unit conduction velocity after unilateral lower limb suspension and active recovery, finding that ion channel gene expression, particularly K+ transporters, correlates with these changes.

This study examines the effects of 10 days of unilateral lower limb suspension on knee extensors strength and spinal excitability, finding reduced strength and increased spinal reflexes.
