Figure 2. — Body composition measurements were assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry on days 3 (baseline), 10 (post-BR), and 17 (post-Rehab) and are presented as change from baseline of each individual response. MIXED participants are showing in black diamonds, and the WHEY participants are in open diamonds. Whole-body lean mass was significantly decreased in both the MIXED and WHEY groups following bed rest (p < .001) but returned to baseline following rehabilitation (a). Leg lean mass was significantly decreased following disuse (p < .001) and was not yet fully restored following rehabilitation (p < .05; b). In addition, WHEY participants tended (p = .08) to lose less leg lean mass than participants in the MIXED group (b). Fat mass was significantly different from baseline following disuse (p < .05) and rehabilitation (p < .001; c).
