What happens when training ceases according to the Reversibility Principle?
Muscles grow at a faster rate
The body gradually returns to its pre-training state
Increased metabolism
None of the above
The correct answer is: The body gradually returns to its pre-training state
When training ceases, the body gradually returns to its pre-training state according to the Reversibility Principle. This means that any progress made through consistent training will eventually be lost if training stops. Option A is incorrect because muscles do not continue to grow at a faster rate without continued training. Option C is also incorrect because increased metabolism is a result of regular exercise, not the lack of it. Option D is not entirely accurate because the body does not necessarily revert back to its pre-training state completely, but rather some progress may be lost.
