Muscle memory (strength training)

Muscle memory in strength training and weight-lifting is the effect that trained athletes experience a rapid return of muscle mass and strength after long periods of inactivity.

The mechanisms implied for the muscle memory suggest that it is mainly related to strength training, and a 2016 study conducted at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden failed to find a memory effect of endurance training.
