Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how a decline in physical activity acutely leads to
a decrease in insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. The hypothesis is that the loss of
insulin sensitivity following physical inactivity is caused by a rapid reduction in skeletal
muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity.
