Ja ikävä asia on tietysti se, että kunnon palauttaminen vaatii yleensä pitemmän ajan, kuin sen menettäminen:
How long does it take to regain fitness?
Unfortunately, it can take longer to regain what you have lost that it took to lose it in the first place.
One famous case study of an Olympic rower showed that after an eight-week break post-Olympics it took him 20 weeks to return to his previous level of fitness. However, this is also an elite athlete at the very peak of his powers and an athlete with less to lose, particularly in terms of top-end form, may not face the same long road back to form.
