CONFERENCE REPORT: 2024 PADUA – 5 DAYS ON 
MUSCLE AND MOBILITY MEDICINE (2024PDM3) 

Padua, Italy, 27 February‒2 March 2024

The International Scientific Conference entitled “Padua Days on Muscle 
and Mobility Medicine in Padova (Pdm3)” was held at the Petrarca Hotel 
in the Spa of the Euganean Hill (Padova), Italy, in the San Luca Hall of the 
Convent of Santa Giustina in Prato della Valle, Padova, Italy. Pdm3 was led 
by prof. Ugo Carraro and prof. Sandra Zampieri. This series of international 
meetings on the biology, anatomy, physiology, management, and rehabilitation 
of muscles was first held in 1985. Over five days, presentations were given by 
scientists and medical staff from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, 
Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Russia, 
Slovenia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Among 
all participants, four colleagues from the Institute for Kinesiology Research, 
Science and Research Centre Koper presented their work: Prof. Rado Pišot 
(Simulating weightlessness with inactivity models on Earth: research experi-
ence of the Bedrest Centre in Koper), Prof. Boštjan Šimunič (The relevance 
of Tensiomyographic results in disuse studies), Assoc. prof. Uroš Marušič 
(Sensorimotor adaptations during bed rest: insights from high-density electro-
encephalography) and Kaja Teraž (Muscle sparing effect of high-protein diet 
with excess leucine in short-term bed rest).

From all scientific sections, a section of Impact of inactivity on human phys-
iological systems was almost entirely dedicated to the presentation of results 
obtained in our latest bed rest campaign (SBI 2023 bed rest study). Authors 
presented the differences in bed rest consequences between younger and older 
male participants at the level of muscle oxidative metabolism, muscle molecu-
lar impairment of neuromuscular junction, protective role of protein supple-
ments during the bed rest period, deterioration of muscle function, muscle ac-
tivation at the level of motor units and muscle-tendon system, deterioration of 
central nervous system, and change in muscle tension.

POROČILO S KONFERENCE: DNEVI MEDICINE MIŠIC IN 
MOBILNOSTI V PADOVI (2024PDM3)

Padova, Italija, 27. februar‒2. marec 2024

Mednarodna znanstvena konferenca Dnevni medicine mišic in mobilnosti v 
Padovi (Pdm3) je potekala v hotelu Hotel Petrarca Terme Montegrotto Padova, 
Italija. Konferenco sta vodila prof. Ugo Carraro in prof. Sandra Zampieri. 
Mednarodno srečanje o biologiji, anatomiji, fiziologiji, upravljanju in rehabi-
litaciji mišic je prvič potekalo 1985. Letos so v petih dneh potekale predsta-
vitve znanstvenikov in zdravstvenega osebja iz Argentine, Avstrije, Belgije, 
Brazilije, Kanade, Danske, Egipta, Francije, Nemčije, Islandije, Irske, Italije, 
Romunije, Rusije, Slovenije, Švice, Združenega kraljestva in ZDA. Med ude-
leženci so svoje delo predstavili tudi sodelavci z Inštituta za kineziološke razi-
skave Znanstveno-raziskovalnega središča Koper, in sicer prof. dr. Rado Pišot 
(ang. Weightlessness with inactivity models on Earth: research experience of 
the Bedrest Centre in Koper), prof. dr. Boštjan Šimunič (ang. The relevance of 
Tensiomyographic results in disuse studies), izr. prof. dr. Uroš Marušič (ang. 
Sensorimotor adaptations during bed rest: insights from high-density electro-
encephalography) in Kaja Teraž (ang. Muscle sparing effect of high-protein 
diet with excess leucine in short-term bed rest).

V sklopu konference je potekala sekcija Impact of inactivity on human 
physiological systems, v kateri so se posvečali predvsem predstavitvi rezul-
tatov iz zadnje kampanje BEDREST (študija gibalne neaktivnosti SBI 2023). 
Avtorji so predstavili razlike v posledicah gibalne neaktivnosti med mlajšimi 
in starejšimi moškimi udeleženci na ravni oksidativnega metabolizma mišic, 
molekularne okvare živčno-mišičnega spoja, vloge beljakovinskih dopolnil v 
prehrani, poslabšanja mišične funkcije, mišične aktivacije na ravni motoričnih 
enot in skeletno-mišičnega sistema, poslabšanja centralnega živčnega sistema 
in drugih.
