Good news for fitness enthusiasts! Recent research from the University of Jyväskylä shows that taking a break from exercise doesn't mean starting from scratch. According to their study, even after a 10-week break from strength training—whether due to an injury or illness—participants only needed about 5 weeks to regain their previous strength levels.
The research compared two groups: one that trained continuously for 20 weeks, and another that took a 10-week break in the middle. Surprisingly, the group that took a break caught up quickly and showed similar results by the study's end.
"During the first few weeks after the break, progress was very rapid," notes researcher Eeli Halonen. Even better, maximum strength was better preserved during the break than expected.
For the best results when returning to exercise, remember to warm up properly and cool down afterward. Pernaton Cooling Gel can help support your joints during this transition. Its natural formula, containing green-lipped mussel extract, provides a refreshing cooling sensation while supporting joint health and flexibility. Simply massage it into areas like knees, shoulders, or elbows as needed.
