Exercise Physiology Question

[Guest guest]

OK Exercise Phys Experts, here's the question of the week.

If an endurance athlete (cyclist) in above average condition takes a week off

and does nothing more than take strolls on a beach, to what extent does that

athlete lose conditioning, i.e., VO2 max, LT, etc.? I did some research, but

couldn't find the information I needed. Tepper if you're out there please chime

in. Thanks in advance.

B. Rohr, P.T.
