Even a two-week rest from training can be very harmful to health: young people who decide to give up training for a while, increase the risk of reducing muscle mass and the development of metabolic disorders. This can accelerate the development of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart disease. This is warned by scientists from the University of Liverpool, as the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net 28 healthy volunteers participated in their study. The average age of participants was 25 years, and the average body mass index (BMI) was 25. Scientists wanted to find out how the lack of physical activity within 14 days will affect the health of participants.

So, they found that after a two-week break in training, the participants changed their body composition.

In particular, they have decreased muscle mass and increased body fat. Fatty deposits, as a rule, accumulated in the abdomen. Such fat deposits significantly increase the risk of chronic diseases. In addition, cardiorespiratory endurance decreased in volunteers.

Thus, scientists are not advised to give up training even for a short time - physical activity should be an integral part of life. Even if you can not train, it is better to sit and move more often.
