Abstract
Many individuals continue to exercise train and experience athletic success well into the eighth and ninth decades of their lives. This paper examines the interaction between aging and athletic performance with specific reference to how regular exercise training attenuates the decrements in performance typically attributed to the aging process. The importance of rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries to facilitate continued participation in athletics is also addressed.
