Tennis Debates Playing a Shorter Season - WSJ.com

Endurance athletics quote from the article from one of "my" college (UT COE) professors:

Ed Coyle, the director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, said there are few data on the effects of long rest versus periodic breaks for athletes who don't necessarily rely on endurance. "If endurance athletes take off completely, they lose half of their fitness in 12 days," he said. "There's not much known about taking time off in skill sports."
