Muscle and liver cells may retain benefits of past exercise
Research suggests muscle and liver cells retain a memory of exercise after training stops. This may help people regain fitness faster when they return to exercise.

Regaining fitness
The traditional “use it or lose it” view implies that benefits fade when training stops.
People with a training history may get fit again faster, and previously trained mice grew bigger muscles when they retrained.
