Metabolic adaptation

After 5 days of endurance training, muscle lactate concentration, phosphocreatine hydrolysis, and glycogen depletion were reduced compared to pretraining.

Short-term endurance training can lead to significant metabolic improvements in muscle function.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
it was found that, after 5 days of training, muscle lactate concentration, phosphocreatine (PCr) hydrolysis, and glycogen depletion were reduced vs. PRE (all P < 0.01).
