👉🏻Physiologically as a runner enters the masters years the changes shown in this infographic were found* to occur [study looked at 55 runners aged between 30 and 80 years who ran on average 50km per week to occur]🔍
_
👉🏻The researchers concluded that the decline of VO2max with ageing in runners was mainly explained by the central cardiovascular factors represented by the decline of heart rate max and cardiac output 👟

‼️TAKE HOME: Willy and Paquette (2) surmise that although running training cannot completely halt the natural and above outlined age related declines in cardiovascular function, that there is ‘absolutely no doubt that continued endurance training volume and intensity are beneficial to slowing these declines in the masters runner ✅
