Conclusions
The current analysis demonstrates novel findings. The principal observation relates to the kinetics of oxygen uptake that were found to be similar to those reported for healthy young adults (15). This is a remarkable finding in a 92-yr-old and may serve to highlight the plasticity of cardiopulmonary and respiratory functional capacity, even in persons of advanced age, when supported by sufficient exercise stimulus. Moreover, well-developed physiological characteristics, i.e., pulmonary function, V̇o2peak, O2pulse, maximum power, and egross, were observed, providing further support to the premise that exercise training may counteract aging-dependent impairments across a range of systems. Finally, the training and nutritional practices of this athlete are also outlined and may confer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners within the domain.
Yeah I get that but he's not doing anything a million other healthy older people are doing as well. My mom and step dad are in their 80s and they wake up at 6am every day to go to the gym. They still look old and def do not have the body of a 30 year old
