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).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving direct measurements and statistical significance.
