Senior marathon runners improving

Tweet

Published in the AGE review, the official journal of the American Aging Association, new data analysis shows the best male marathon runners age 65 and over and the best female marathon runners age 45 and over have consistently improved their performance over the past 20 years.

Researchers concluded that, over the past two decades, the performance of both male and female marathon runners in this demographic have improved notably, but their younger peers have remained roughly the same.

"The improved performances can be explained by the increased number of participants in these age categories, as well as the increased interest this age population has in terms of the benefits of physical activity on health and well being," said Romuald Lepers, noted for his research into motor function plasticity during aging, which was part of the report published in AGE by the Inserm Unit 1093.

Staying active is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Baby boomers, senior citizens and adults in general should have a life insurance policy in place as soon as possible in order to ensure the lowest rate available and to have peace of mind in old age. Comparing life insurance quotes online is an effective method for finding a policy.
