Endurance gains from soccer training may reverse within 5 weeks of detraining; leaves open optimal maintenance protocols for cardiac health.
Does a 10-week soccer training program followed by 5 weeks of detraining affect cardiac and metabolic measures?
A 10-week soccer training program significantly improves cardiorespiratory endurance, but these benefits are rapidly lost after 5 weeks of detraining.
