 |
|
| I have lifted weights for years. Recently I stopped lifting with my legs and began to focus on running. I am noticing my run time slowly getting better. Is this my imagination that I am going through muscular atrophy of sorts because I am not lifting with my legs? |

| Certainly, you would use different muscles when running than when lifting weights with your legs, and the less-used muscles could become less bulky. But I wouldn't call it atrophy. If you're physically active I'm sure your muscles are still quite normal. |

| I would not think that any exerrcise physiologist would say that you are experiencing muscle _atrophy_ as a result of changes in your conditioing regimen - - but rather, modereate reversal of muscle _hypertrophy_ previously brought on by your leg lifting.Your muscles are continuously undergoing increases and decreases in growth, in response to demand. I don't think that this is medically or athletically significant to your fitness or health - - but it might be relevant if you want to maintain the _look_ of leg muscle hypertrophy that you achieved through leg lifting.rex, from indianaphysician |
