Summary
Investigators will assess the effect of exercise on markers of inflammation and protein
catabolism. This research study will further our understanding of how treating Chronic
Critical illness (CCI) - related respiratory muscle weakness with strength training can not
only improve muscle function, but also potentially blunt the inflammation and catabolism of
Peristent Inflammation/Immunosuppression and Catabolism (PICS).
