From the authors: “DC’s trajectory highlights that developing a high V̇O 2max in midlife to optimize his sporting performance was likely a key factor resulting in a V̇O2max in older age that remains more than sufficient for performing daily activities—which is considered a crucial element of healthy aging.”
This study is highlighted as one of September’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society's program.
