Alterations in blood pressure dependent activation of leg muscles during standing following bed rest mimic those observed with ageing
Our results showed striking similarities in the alteration of muscle-pump baroreflex induced via ageing and HDBR, suggesting strong commonalities between ageing and long-term inactivity in terms of the adverse effects on baroreflex mediated control of lower leg muscle activities in response to orthostatic challenge.
