Figure 7.
Correlations between the change in quadriceps volume in the immobilized leg and the difference in the daily myofibrillar FSR between the nonimmobilized and immobilized leg during the full 7-day immobilization period (A), and during days 0–2 (B), and days 2–7 (C). Participants either performed no exercise (n = 11; CON) or performed 300 maximal unilateral eccentric muscle damaging quadriceps contractions in both legs (n = 9; DAM) immediately before immobilization. Statistical analysis was performed with a Pearson’s correlation and r2 and P values are displayed on each graph. FSR, fractional synthetic rate.
