The Effect of Detaining on Swimmers
After five months of intense training, a study of eight male swimmers was conducted within four weeks of no training. The performance time was not affected. However, the losses in training aspects during that period were:
- Muscle glycogen decreased from 153 to 93 mm / kg;
- High blood lactate level from 4.2 mm / l to 9.7 mm / l. After swimming 200 yards, 90% of the best time
After only one week, a decrease in the oxidative potential of swimmers' muscles and a greater disturbance of acid-base balance in the blood after swimming is observed. The study also showed that complete conditioning may be completely lost within six to eight weeks after stopping training. What has been gained from conditioning in 5 months can be lost in a period of 6 to 8 weeks, and factors of loss of adaptation appear in the first week to 4 weeks, which is a short period.
