  strengthening  muscles  can  only  be  achieved  through
  regular  training.  Strength  training  once  a  week  will
  maintain  strength,  but  improving  performance  requires

  depends  on  how  much  you’ve  stimulated  your  body,  the
  training  conditions,  and  the  training  method  you  used.
  Appropriately  organizing  the  time  for  regeneration
  accelerates recovery.
    The best results from training are achieved if the break

  have  su cient  time  for  regeneration,  it  can  lead  to
  overtraining  and  deterioration  in  your  level  of
