What happens to your leg if you do not use it for a long time?
Like with any muscle, your body constantly supplies nutrients, even when you're asleep. If you don't use it, its almost like putting gas in a car and not driving it. Eventually your body or "the gas station" will stop putting fuel into your muscles. It makes using your muscles hard when you decide to use them again. If you decide not using them for a long long long long time, eventually your muscles will begin to atrophy or deteriorate.
