How can muscle atrophy stemming from accelerated growth be avoided in super soldiers?
Lebensborn was a state-supported program in Nazi Germany with the stated goal of increasing the number of children who met the Nazi standards of "racially pure" and "healthy" Aryans, based on Nazi eugenics. Founded by Henrich Himler, the program encouraged anonymous births by unmarried women with established members of the SS. The children born of this union would not be raised by families, but directly by the state at specially established camps that were isolated from society. These children would be indoctrinated into Nazi ideology from a young age and made into the ideal perfect soldier that was loyal only The Further and the state. This elite army led Germany to many victories, ultimately defeating the Allies and their pathetic attempts to stow the tide of the great Aryan race. However, running a program was impractical and expensive, depending on the fickleness of human beings. The state needed to provide financial incentives to volunteers in order for them to do their duty. It also took many years to raise a child into a full adult soldier, and there were many washouts and failures along the way. Therefore, the program was discontinued sometime after the war.
In the 22nd century however, the Eternal Reich possesses the technology to allow Lebensborn to return its cost on capital at a much quicker rate, and has reinstated the program. Human beings can now be made in batches from artificial wombs, using the cells of random men and women. These machines would house the developing fetus, containing it into adulthood. Through this methods, thousands of individuals can be grown at the same time at special facilities created for this purpose. The process can now be accelerated to provide a fully grown adult in five years. These individuals will be raised in-vitro to better control indoctrination and given the training necessary to make them useful on the battlefield. When the adult is fully ready, they will be decanted from the machine womb and enter the real world.
One problem that has yet to be addressed is the atrophy that is likely to have developed as the soldier takes their first steps into reality. While they were able to perfectly function in carefully constructed simulations, they would never have used their limbs or muscles before in real life. This would leave them uncoordinated at best and paralyzed at worst, with perhaps a low chance of recovery. Breathing and other organ functions are likely to be a problem as well, and the person could very well die shortly after being decanted from the machine. This would make the process an expensive waste in time and money.
How can this problem be avoided to make these soldiers function like normal human beings?
