Why is it important?
The importance of this research lies in addressing the specific physiological factors, such as muscle and respiratory function, that correlate with performance declines in older athletes. Understanding these connections can inform training strategies tailored to the unique needs of Master Track Cyclists, potentially optimizing their performance and extending their competitive longevity.
Perspectives
Potential perspectives include the development of targeted training interventions to mitigate age-related declines in muscle and respiratory function. Additionally, the findings may contribute to broader discussions on aging and sports performance, potentially influencing training practices and guidelines for older athletes across various disciplines.
