Twelve subjects participated in an exercise program of cycling and running 40 min/day, 6 days/wk. After 10 wk, they continued to train with either a 1/3 or 2/3 reduction in work rates for an addidional 15 wk. Frequency and duration for the additional training remained the same as during the 10 wk of training. The average increases in maximum O2 uptake (.ovrhdot.VO2max) were between 11 and 20% when measured during cycling and treadmill running after 10 wk of training. .ovrhdot.VO2max was not maintained at the 6 day/wk training levels with a 1/3 reduction in training intensity but was still higher than pretraining levels. With a 2/3 reduction in intensity, .ovrhdot.VO2max declined to an even greater extent than with the 1/3 reduction. Short-term endurance (.apprx. 5 min) was maintained in the 1/3 reduced group but was markedly reduced in the 2/3 reduced group. Long-term endurance was decreased significantly from training by 21% in the 1/3 reduced group (184-145 min) and by 30% in the 2/3 reduced group (202-141 min). Calculated left ventricular mass, obtained from echocardiographic measurements, increased .apprx. 15% after training but returned to control levels after reduced training in both groups. Training intensity is an essential requirement for maintaining the increased aerobic power and cardiac enlargement with reduced training. Other performance criteria such as short- and long-term endurance were not reduced in parallel with the .ovrhdot.VO2max changes and may, therefore, be under additional regulation.
