· 3 visits to the laboratory over 3 weeks
· 2 Lower Limb Resistance Exercise Sessions consisting of Leg Press and Knee Extension
· Urine Analysis
· Sleep Tracking
· Body composition analysis
· Performance Testing
· Heart Rate Variability
· Muscle Ultrasound
· Blood Lactate Measurements
· Twelve (12) total blood collections (~ 3 tbsp. each)
· Six (6) muscle biopsies (~50 mg. each)
There is moderate discomfort in obtaining your muscle (aching and cramping), as a small incision will be made to obtain the piece of muscle from your thigh.
