Key result
Detraining for 5 months in basketball players previously undergoing heavy strength training improved aerobic power, including a 27% increase in maximum oxygen consumption.

Does a detraining period improve aerobic power in basketball players mainly trained for strength?
A detraining period in basketball players heavily trained for strength may improve aerobic power by reducing residual fatigue and circulatory impairment.
Ciuti et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Basketball players (n=6). Detraining vs. Full training condition was evaluated on Aerobic power parameters including maximum oxygen consumption. Detraining for 5 months in basketball players previously undergoing heavy strength training improved aerobic power, including a 27% increase in maximum oxygen consumption.
