When cutting the ability to gain mass and strength decrease ..... U may even lose strength and mass when cutting...

The question is : does the ability to recover decrease significantly , and does your ability to increase your endurance and flexibility decrease a lot??

I think your ability to recover decreases. Your body is going to have less energy to devote to tissue repair while in a caloric deficit. You are also going to have fewer micronutrients in your system that are involved in metabolic processes.

I would think that your ability to improve local muscular endurance would also be hindered. Your body is less apt to store energy substrates while in a caloric deficit. You are depleting your body's energy stores, so improving endurance will definitely be tough. However, I think it is possible in the lesser trained individual via the proliferation of enzymes involved in energy production, therefore improving the efficiency of producing energy using what stores already exist.

I would think that flexibility training shouldn't be hindered to any significant extent. From what I understand, microtrauma to connective tissues isn't necessary to improve elasticity, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Neural factors also play a role in flexiblity and mobility, so the effect diet has on that part of the equation should be minimal to none.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

That makes sense a lot ...
