Cross-education of Skill and Strength in Healthy People Subjected to an Upper-limb Disuse Model
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Disuse Atrophy, Immobilization
In brief
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare manual dexterity and strength between a group undergoing a contralateral manual dexterity training program and a no-intervention control group in healthy, physically inactive individuals subjected to an induced upper-limb disuse model.

You may qualify if…
- Individuals will be eligible for inclusion if they are right-handed adults aged 18 to 35 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30 kg/m².
- Individuals must be classified as physically inactive, defined as not meeting the World Health Organization criteria of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week.
You may not qualify if…
- Individuals who have engaged in physical training (e.g., any form of strength or aerobic exercise) or specific manual dexterity training within the past 6 months. - Individuals who regularly participate in artistic, occupational, or sporting activities requiring high levels of manual dexterity (e.g., musicians, gamers, craftspeople).
- Individuals with a history of orthopedic or traumatic injuries affecting either upper extremity. Individuals with pathologies or conditions that preclude safe training (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, or visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments [for example, dyscalculia]).
- Individuals currently using nutritional supplements or medications that interfere with the regulation of skeletal muscle mass and strength (e.g., whey protein, creatine) or the central nervous system (e.g., antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics).
