Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of 3-days reduced physical activity (\<1500 steps/day) with/without 'exercise snacks' (15 chair stands with calf raises every 30 min) on skeletal muscle metabolic health.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Metabolic Trial

Participants will undergo a metabolic trial to assess for their anabolic response to a protein-carbohydrate meal.

BEHAVIORAL

15 sit-to-stands with calf raises

Participants (n=10; 5F/5M) will be randomized to perform 15 sit-to-stands with calf raises every 30 minutes for the 4 hour duration between muscle biopsies
