S.) Depending on the patient s condition, regular muscle training should be carried out daily if possible in order to improve anabolism as well as urea and glutamine metabolism in the muscles, (s. pp 650, 732)... 

If whole groups of muscles are immobilized as, e.g., by means of a plaster cast, muscle force will decrease in the beginning by 25-30% per week. During purposeful muscle training, however, increased muscle power is achieved. The values of muscular stress during exercise must exceed those of the normal daily activity (Figure 6.7). The locomotor system (bones, joints, muscles, and tendons) operates according to a lever...

Abnormal gas exchange, malnutrition, and prolonged use of controlled ventilation, leading to selective diaphragmatic muscle atrophy, add to peripheral and respiratory muscle weakness (38). Many of the above reasons make it likely that patients will benefit from PT that targets respiratory and skeletal muscle function, although clearer evidence of positive outcomes is still required (53). Inspiratory muscle training has been shown to facilitate...

Low-resistance multiple repetitions of resistive muscle training can augment muscle mass, force generation, and activate oxidative enzymes. This increase, in turn, can improve O2 extraction and efficiency of muscle O2 kinetics (40). Sets of repetitions [3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at 50-70% of 1 repetition maximum (RM)] (41) within the patient s tolerance...
