AI synopsis

What people are saying

The group exhibits a neutral stance overall, with some posts questioning the effectiveness of deloading and describing it as 'slacking off,' while others cite various training routines and studies. The tone varies from skeptical to exploratory, reflecting a moderate level of curiosity and dialogue about the research's implications.

AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

The discussions express some skepticism about the concept of 'deloading' and whether it truly benefits training, reflecting a neutral or questioning stance.

InterestNeutral interest

The overall interest seems moderate, as many posts mention the topic but with limited enthusiasm or detailed analysis, indicating a neutral level of curiosity.

EngagementModerate engagement

Some users engage by discussing the implications of training routines, methods, or personal experiences, showing a moderate depth of participation, but not deeply analytical.

ImpactNeutral impact

The discussions suggest that the social discussions are somewhat influential among fitness enthusiasts, but they do not seem to suggest a significant shift in opinions or practices based solely on these comments.

Abstract in brief

Both continuous and interrupted resistance training lead to similar gains in muscle size and strength in previously untrained men.
A 3-week break (detraining) does not significantly reduce muscle size or strength, and retraining can restore previous gains effectively.
The study indicates that taking short breaks during training might not hinder long-term muscle development, which could be useful for designing flexible training programs.

新しい論文が出て。だいたいコンセンサスとれてきたのかな。トレーニングは病気やけがで中断しても、また再開すれば、中断してない自分にすぐに追いつける。 https://t.co/4JVhzTB2q6 https://t.co/DErzLhLwCQ

•トレ歴長い人ほど筋肉は落ちにくい •7週間休んでも3週間で取り戻せる •長期休養後に高重量扱えないが、筋肉量ではなく、神経系が原因 •細くなったような気がするのは、筋グリコーゲンとか、血流が原因 #筋トレ　#自重トレ　#エニタイム https://t.co/KptcodYFiR
