How quickly does cardiovascular fitness dissipate?
I hurt my foot a couple weeks ago. For the past year or so, I had been doing anywhere from 60-80 minutes of medium-intense cardio on a stationary bike. The foot is getting better, but it will probably be at least another week until I'll feel comfortable doing any exercise on it. I'm just curious as to how fast people lose their level of cardiovascular fitness during periods (at least three weeks, in my case) of little to no exercise. What about the strength of my legs?
