True. The fancy term is neuro-muscular pathways. Muscle memory does not imply strength or speed, but complex movements that athletes learn by frequent repetition in training. I quit hammer throwing (Track and Field, not Highland Games) for 17 years. MY first workout back I remembered the footwork and body positions. My body just knew where to go. I can't throw as far in my 40's as I did in my 20's but it is still fun. My college coach still throw and he is in his 70's.
