Investigating the Anabolic Response to Resistance Exercise After Critical Illness: The ARTIST-2 Non-Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Resistance exercise and Oral protein supplementation for Critical Illness and Muscle Loss. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
ICU survivors often suffer from long-term functional disability. An attenuated response to physical exercise in skeletal muscle after critical illness may contribute to persisting weakness. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of resistance exercise on muscle protein synthesis in former ICU patients. The investigators hypothesize that study subjects recovering from critical illness have an impaired anabolic response to resistance exercise after ICU stay as compared to non-critically ill controls.
