Aims:
- Test two different modes of resistance training
(electrically stimulated muscle contractions versus voluntary resistance
exercise) for their effects on mitigating bone and muscle decrements
during 28 days of hindlimb unloading (HU) in adult rats.
- Test different doses of alendronate during 28 days HU for maximal efficacy in suppressing bone resorption.
- Combine alendronate with that training paradigm judged most successful to test for additive or synergistic effects.
