| Research Abstract |
This study examined the effect of heat stress on the prevention of disuse muscle atrophy, sarcopenia, in rat muscles with 7 and 60 weeks of age. The effect of heat stress on prevention of disuse muscle atrophy was detected. Thus, heat stress could be effective for the prevention of sarcopenia. However, the effect is not enough only in heat stress. It seemed that it is effective to use heat stress and exercise together.
