Coach Bres took a deep dive into all of the different research around ‘detraining’ to try and find some clarity about what has everyone a buzz on social media. Listen to the full episode, but remember that first and foremost as coaches we want to help guide our students and athletes as best we can through this confusing time. As much as you might worry about losing a certain aspect of training, try to also remember that we can do so much good just helping our students to say active in ANY way while at home.
Time Stamps: 
  • What is ‘detraining’? If you don’t work out while at home during all of this Covid-19 social distancing are you going to ‘lose’ out on something? (1:00)
  • We are looking to help kids get through this with some structure so that they can stay healthy and fit, maybe not so much of what we are losing for our athletic performance. (3:30)
  • Use it, or Lose it? (6:30)
  • Talking about the chart – speed versus aerobic on the ends of the spectrum (9:00)
  • Looking at the aerobic study (12:00) What about strength? Maximum strength sticks around, and getting creative at home. (15:00)
  • What about power? (19:00)
  • Endurance – sprint or long slow distance. Talking about conditioning and how detraining is very real. (23:30)
  • 3 Days, 3 Weeks. What coaches always use to say. (25:30)
  • Aerobic is the foundation, high intensity anaerobic might start to suffer. (34:00)
  • Hypertrophy – effects on muscle mass. (37:00)
  • Practical applications – everything matters to some degree (40:00)
  • Value of focusing on the entire pie (44:00)
