Fitness Level Declines Dramatically With Age

Fitness Level Declines Dramatically With Age

According to the article:

"For example, aerobic capacity declined 3% to 6% each decade in the 20s and 30s, but after age 70 the rate of decline accelerated to more than 20% per decade.

The study also showed that after age 40, men's fitness levels declined at a faster rate than women, regardless of their level of physical activity. "

Ouch! ... and Double Ouch! .....
