May indicate detraining drives VO2 max decline in active adults; leaves open whether sustained training intensity prevents it.
How do age and physical activity state influence central hemodynamics and lung function over a decade in active adults?
Long-term reductions in maximal oxygen uptake in physically active adults appear to be largely driven by detraining effects on central hemodynamics and arteriovenous oxygen extraction.
Kanstrup et al. (1978) studied this question.
