Cardiorespiratory and metabolic characteristics of detraining in humans

Article Abstract:

This article examines cardiorespiratory and metabolic processes involved in detraining, or the loss of exercise-induced adaptions due to training cessation. Findings indicate that athletes experience a reduction in maximal oxygen uptake, an increase in carbohydrate metabolism during exercise, and a decrease in insulin sensitivity within a month after training.

Effects of an entire season on physical fitness changes in elite male handball players

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the effects of an entire season of play on physical fitness and throwing velocity. The handball season resulted in significant increases in maximal and specific strength of the upper-extremity actions and the correlations observed suggest that training time at low intensity should be given less attention, in the full training season program.
