Abstract Background In this research inactivity was simulated by immobilizing the forearm region in a plaster cast. Changes in skeletal muscle oxidative function were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and the preventative effect of the training protocol on deterioration of skeletal muscle and the clinical utility of NIRS were examined. Methods Fourteen healthy adult men underwent immobilization of the forearm of the non-dominant arm by plaster cast for 21 days.
