Detraining
Detraining is the loss of training adaptations due to prolonged abstinence from training. The time course of detraining is different for different adaptations with aerobic endurance training being quickest to detrain and strength training being much slower. "To detrain" can be the act of abstinence from training and also the results of abstinence. Deconditioning, however, normally expresses only the loss of adaptation and can be used for all circumstances including non-trained individuals.
