The research is tailored for the demographic of youthful, healthy individuals (aged 18-29 years). Ultimately, its application is anticipated in populations afflicted with conditions necessitating restricted physical exertion, such as cardiac, cerebrovascular, and orthopedic ailments. Similarly, the application of this study is envisioned for patients with disuse syndrome. Furthermore, it is projected to be relevant for elderly community dwellers participating in specific health checkups and anal

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measures were skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass, obtained through multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Measurements were taken on each of the three experimental days at six-time points: immediately after the laboratory visit, post-experimental task (including water or food intake, or exercise), and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the completion of the experimental task. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes encompass other body composition parameters such as body water content, mineral content, and protein content, as well as electrical resistance metrics including impedance, resistance, and phase angle, all obtained via multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Measurements will be conducted following the protocol outlined for the primary outcome. Additionally, age and gender will be recorded as general characteristics, and height and weight will be measured. Height will be assessed immediately after each experimental visit on all three experimental days, while weight will be measured in alignment with the primary outcome measurements. | — |
