Apparently, cardio fitness is that the first to travel (course it's , that jerk) and consistent with sports scientist Tony Boutagy, who also spoke with The ABC, after about fortnight , “you’ll probably start to point out a 7-10 per cent loss in strength levels”.
I spoke with Ben Lucas, Director of Flow Athletic, who echoed this point:
…on the cardio front, you'll notice a difference in your body’s ability to move and utilise oxygen pretty quickly which will show up within the sort of getting puffed out easily, sweating more and feeling tired.
“On the strength front, when there's no stimulus, muscle mass decreases. in only every week some research suggests that you simply can lose up to 10% of your muscle mass. Over three months, you'll lose most of your gains.”
Unfortunately, you can’t boost your fitness levels as quickly as you lose them, science indicates, but on the upside – it doesn’t take as long as you’d think.
Accredited exercise physiologist Sam Rooney, from Sydney’s Ion Training, told Fairfax that you’ll begin to experience “those psychological state benefits” in only every week . He also acknowledged that your sleep will likely improve, and your energy levels will jump up.
