Athletic Longevity describes the goal of maintaining athletic performance, energy, focus, mobility and recovery for as long as possible: not just living longer, but staying capable of performing for longer. The focus is on the so-called "Performance Span", meaning the years in which you can perform physically and mentally.
Studies show that athletic performance declines relatively linearly after the individual peak, usually from around the age of 30 depending on the sport. However, training, recovery, nutrition and targeted supplementation can significantly slow this decline. For female athletes, there is an additional factor: hormonal conditions change over the course of life, but that does not mean your athletic ambitions have to.
