ImpactHigh impact
Widespread sharing and positive framing suggest that this research is perceived to have substantial implications for health and rehabilitation practices.
Abstract in brief
This study explores how daily heat therapy helps protect human skeletal muscle from atrophy and loss of mitochondrial function during 10 days of immobilization, showing that heat increases protective proteins like HSP70 and HSP90 and maintains muscle size and metabolic capacity.
The research involved 23 healthy volunteers who underwent immobilization with either a sham treatment or a 2-hour heat treatment using pulsed shortwave diathermy, which raised muscle temperature without causing harm.
Results indicated that heat therapy prevented the decline in muscle size, mitochondrial respiratory capacity, and associated proteins, suggesting that heat stress could be a useful strategy to combat muscle loss during periods of immobilization.]

@bstewhealth @foundmyfitness To clarify, the study I reference on preventing muscle atrophy actually involved local heat application, but it's reasonable to hypothesize that similar benefits would arise from full-body heat therapy (sauna).

One of the keys to longevity is avoiding muscle atrophy - people bang on about exercise because of this, but exercising outside under sunlight is so much more powerful because of the compounding effect -
Check out some cool findings I pulled from Hafen and Colleagues' experimental study on daily localized heat therapy's impacts on thigh muscle atrophy and mitochondrial function following 10 days of immobilization: https://t.co/zO98Shg3zs
@inside_exercise @PaigeGeigerPhD @GlennMcConell1 And heating very applicable for immobilization induced atrophy conditions in bed ridden and sick pop.
Here is one study that shows reduction in immobilized induced atrophy in humans. 2 hrs daily using diathermy for 10 wks.
