Effect of training cessation after tapering on strength in powerlifters
A study investigated the impact of different training cessation periods following a taper on maximal strength in powerlifters. The study involved ten young powerlifters who followed a six-week powerlifting program and underwent either a two-day or four-day period of training cessation after a step taper. The results showed that both groups experienced an improvement in strength, although it was statistically significant only in the four-day training cessation group. The study suggests that the duration of training cessation may depend on individual response and the specific lift being trained.
