74 Year versus 40 Year old Triathlete - Interesting Read!!!
At 74-years old...these are your legs on triathlon & these are your legs without triathlon
A new study
called, "Chronic Exercise Preserves Lean Muscle Mass in Masters Athletes," which
you can read HERE graphically
illustrates what happens to your muscles (with and without) the type of regular
and beneficial exercise that the sport of triathlon provides.
The
image below is a cross section of a
40-year-old triathlete's legs and the associated muscle. But the two
images below it are the really
interesting and telling ones.
40-year-old Triathlete
74-year-old Sedentary Man
74-year-old Triathlete
As you can tell, the 74-year-old masters triathlete's legs are not unlike that of the 40-year-old triathlete's legs. The study's authors go on to write:
"It is
commonly believed that with aging comes an inevitable decline from vitality to
frailty. This includes feeling weak and often the loss of independence. These
declines may have more to do with lifestyle choices, including sedentary living
and poor nutrition, than the absolute potential of musculoskeletal
aging.
In this
study, we sought to eliminate the confounding variables of sedentary living and
muscle disuse, and answer the question of what really happens to our muscles as
we age if we are chronically active. This study and those discussed here show
that we are capable of preserving both muscle mass and strength with lifelong
physical activity."
They conclude
by writing:
"The loss
of lean muscle mass and the resulting subjective and objective weakness
experienced with sedentary aging imposes significant but modifiable personal,
societal, and economic burdens. As sports medicine clinicians, we must encourage
people to become or remain active at all ages. This study, and those reviewed
here, document the possibility to maintain muscle mass and strength across the
ages via simple lifestyle
changes."

"A pro mountain biker seeks epic singletrack in the dense urban jungle near downtown Los Angeles.
Accessible by over 9.8 million people on a daily basis, the Santa Monica mountain range extends through the heart of Los Angeles County -- twisting through the stars' backyards in the Hollywood Hills to the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
Can prime mountain bike terrain really exist amongst the concrete, gridlock traffic and congestion?
