When you think about going for the quick fix, just quickly run this simple paradigm through your head. It all relates to time for adaptation. Nothing complicated. Don’t over think this. This is a just a general guideline, a reminder, that the process of adaption to training takes time.
- Flexibility improves day to day
- Strength can be improved from week to week
- Speed (A fine motor quality) improves from month to month
- Work Capacity improves from year to year
Based on the law of reversibility
- You can lose flexibility from day to day
- You can lose strength week to week
- Speed declines month to month
- Work Capacity declines year to year
