Abstract
The Olympians in their 30s and even their 40s who are competing in Barcelona this month challenge conventional wisdom about the effects of aging on athletic performance. With recreational as well as elite athletes, aging itself may not be the main obstacle to long-term performance. Scheduling sufficient training time becomes increasingly difficult, as does recovering from injuries.
