reducing training temporarily affect endurance or strength?

[John]

Will missing an activity session periodically or reducing training temporarily affect endurance or strength?

[John]

No. Studies show that if intensity of training remains the same, fitness can be maintained even when the frequency of the activity is reduced for up to 15 weeks. Similar findings were found when strength training was studied. When strength training was reduced from 3 or 2 days per week to 1 day, strength was maintained for 12 weeks.
