About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of whole-body electrostimulation with protein intake on muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass and function during bed rest in healthy young adults (18-35 years). The main questions to answer are:
* Does whole-body NMES followed by protein intake improve muscle protein synthesis rates during 3 days of bed rest?
* Does repeated NMES sessions …
