Nutrition and exercise during bed rest
This study looks at how nutrition and physical activity might help the body stay healthy during bed rest. It aims to find ways to reduce muscle and bone loss when people are confined to bed for a long time.

This study tests whether giving extra protein through a feeding tube can help ICU patients maintain muscle strength. It may be an option for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week and need a breathing machine.
This study tests if electrical muscle stimulation, with or without extra protein, can help prevent muscle loss during three days of bed rest. It's for healthy young adults who are active but not competitive athletes.
This trial tests whether giving muscle stimulation and amino acids can help patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine to maintain their muscle protein. The study aims to prevent muscle wasting during critical illness.
This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
This study tests a 20-week lifestyle program that combines exercise, nutrition, and other healthy habits to help people who are still having physical problems after an ICU stay. The goal is to improve your recovery and quality of life.
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
