Despite these age-related changes, several studies have demonstrated that the continued training and competition undertaken by masters athletes slows the natural ageing-related reductions in both athletic performance and physiological function. It should also be highlighted that many other non-physiological age-related changes occur that contribute to the decline in masters athlete performances (e.g. social circumstances, family commitments, employment situations and musculoskeletal limitations). Regardless, it is well understood that athletic performance decreases with age across endurance, sprint and strength events after approximately 35-40 years. These highlighted losses in physiological function and performance accelerate rapidly after an individual reaches 70 years of age.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23761 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:09 AEDT ]]>
