Similar for training frequency. Where the research found those that maintain training frequencies saw better improvements compared to those that decrease them.

Optimizing Athlete Tapering Strategies for Improved Performance
This video explains the concept of tapering, reducing training load before major competition, typically over two weeks with a 41-60% volume reduction, to enhance performance by decreasing fatigue and increasing sport-specific readiness.

Abstract Synopsis
- This meta-analysis examined how different tapering strategies—reducing training intensity, volume, and frequency—affect athletic performance, focusing on competitive athletes.
- The study found that a 2-week taper with an exponential reduction in training volume by 41-60% was the most effective way to improve performance, with this approach showing the strongest overall effect.
- The research offers a useful framework for athletes, coaches, and sport scientists to optimize tapering plans and maximize athletic performance before competitions.
