Residents of Izhevsk told how long muscle memory is preserved

Residents of Izhevsk were told that the results of past training can be imprinted in the body even after a long break. Muscle and liver cells retain memory of stress, so it is easier to return to shape.

Usually, after giving up sports, endurance drops, muscle mass decreases and insulin absorption worsens. But the previous preparation does not disappear without a trace, since some of the changes remain at the cellular level.

In animal studies with a training background, muscles and fibers grew faster, and energy was produced and expended more efficiently. Similar mechanisms are found in the liver, skin and adipose tissue.
