A few years back I regularly ran half marathons. If I missed a few weeks of training due to illness, work or whatever’s, the trainer would often say „the body never forgets“. Thought it was just old guy pseudowisdom, turns out there’s science behind it!
Same! I used to just explain this to others I was trying to get into working out or into an activity or something. I just assumed it had to be real from experience. Nice to see it scienced!
Anecdotally I’ve always heard this and experienced it myself, interesting to see it’s backed by evidence!
