Lack of physical activity is an instigator of numerous chronic diseases and a leading cause of mortality in the Western world (Booth et al. 2012). Among the chronic diseases most influenced by physical inactivity are metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, a notion strongly supported by epidemiological data as well as by studies using experimental models in animals and humans (Booth et al. 2012). Indeed, data are pouring out of studies demonstrating that reduced activity disrupts metabolic function. In humans, an attractive and highly translational experimental model to study the ramifications of free-living physical inactivity, due to its simulation of real-life scenarios, is reduced ambulatory activity via step reduction. In this model, individuals are subjected to an 50–80% reduction in daily steps for several days to weeks. Studies using this model have revealed that decreased ambulatory activity reduces insulin sensitivity in non-obese healthy young men (Knudsen et al. 2012). Whether reduced ambulatory activity produces similar metabolic effects in older adults, and the mechanisms by which this occurs, has remained unknown. In addition, an important but previously unaddressed question is whether, in older individuals, insulin resistance caused by short-term modest inactivity can be fully rescued by the return to previous activity levels. Studying the metabolic effects of short-term inactivity in older individuals, and their capacity to re-establish normal function, is particularly relevant because ageing is associated with both greater occurrence and severity of debilitating life events (illness, orthopaedic injuries, etc.) that substantially impinge physical activity levels.
