Document Summary
Yes, will lose fitness if you don"t train. As you train over weeks, vox max increases, lt increases, but if you stop training, you"re going to de-train and lose fitness. De-training is a mirror image from a time perspective of the time you"re involved in training. If you take 4-5 weeks to train and don"t do anything for 4-5 weeks, will go back to where you started reduced training: Looking at affects of reducing frequency of training. In this study, training high intensity 6x a week. Did 5x5 intervals 3x a week- at end of each interval, hr at max. Other 2x a week ran hard for 40 minutes- hr reached close to maximum. With high intensity training, did this for 10 weeks and split them up into 3 groups. All the groups increased their vo2 max over the 10 weeks. What happens when you change frequency over certain period of time.
