The Cost of Sitting Still: Detraining, Immobilisation and the Modern Lifestyle - Presented by Kieran Doyle

Jul 31, 2026

Muscle strength and power don't just fade over decades — they can fall in a matter of days. This webinar examines how quickly the body deconditions when mechanical load is withdrawn, whether through detraining, immobilisation after injury or surgery, or the slow creep of a sedentary lifestyle. We'll explore why strength and power decline faster than muscle mass, why sitting still is a whole-body problem that reaches well beyond the muscle (including the emerging science of muscle as an endocrine organ), and why everyday activity alone isn't enough to protect function.

You'll leave knowing who's most at risk and how to act inside the narrow early window to prevent avoidable decline.
