“…Even so, also in the men’s shot put and discus throw there was an accelerated decline in performance after the age of 70, despite the decrease in the mass of the discus and put thrown. While the increase in numbers of athletes in these disciplines after retirement ( Engberg et al, 2012 ; Schönbach et al, 2017 ) will result in an increased proportion of less-performing athletes that undoubtedly accentuate the population-based accelerated decline in performance after the age of 70, in the running disciplines participation numbers are not showing a large increase after the age of 70 ( Figures 1 , 2 ). Thus, overall there appears to be an accelerated decline in performance after the age of 70 years.…”

Master athletes maintain high physical activity levels and have better health than age-matched non-athletes. World records show accelerated declines after age 70 in swimming, long-distance running and sprint performance. However, less is known about age-related performance declines in the general master athlete population and whether decline rates differ between disciplines and genders. We interrogated a dataset including all track and field athletes of North Rhine from 2001 to 2014 to assess age-related changes in performance. 27,088 results of athletes between 11 and 89 years of age in 12 disciplines were analyzed by regression statistics. The analyses showed an accelerated decline beyond the age of 70 in sprint, middle- and long-distance running, while in throwing and jumping disciplines the performance continued a linear decline. Patterns of decline differed between men and women. The steepest declines were observed in javelin throw and 400 m (women), and in pole vault and 800 m (men). In conclusion, performance declines in aging depend more on the specific profile of requirements than previously assumed.

“…Some studies reported on the long-term trajectories of PA patterns across the retirement transition indicating that PA tends to increase right after retirement but declines later on [91,99,102,104,105]. In contrast, two studies found evidence that PA levels remained stable after an initial increase [101,108]. Findings for the pre-retirement period were ambiguous with reported increases and decreases in PA [102,105] depending on domain and gender.…”

The impact of life events and transitions on physical activity: A scoping review

et al. 2020

Background Physical activity (PA) is a fluctuating behavior and prone to change across the life course. Changes in PA may be particularly due to the experience of life events and transitions. For well-timed and successful PA interventions, it is important to understand when and why individuals take up or terminate PA. Objectives This scoping review aims to examine the extent, range, and nature of research on the impact of life events and transitions on PA and to summarize key findings. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Articles were included if they had been published in peer-reviewed journals between 1998 and 2020 and assessed the impact of at least one life event or transition on PA. Results 107 studies that assessed 72 distinct life events and transitions were included and summarized in ten categories. Events and transitions that are primarily associated with decreases in PA were starting cohabitation, getting married, pregnancy, evolving parenthood, and the transitions from kindergarten to primary school, from primary to secondary school, and from high school to college or into the labor market. Retirement was associated with increases in PA; yet, long-term trajectories across retirement indicated a subsequent drop in activity levels. Divorce was associated with no changes in PA. No trends could be identified for changing work conditions, quitting or losing a job, starting a new relationship, widowhood, moving, and diagnosis of illness. Conclusion Life events and transitions can be conceptualized as natural interventions that occur across the life course and that are oftentimes associated with changes in PA behavior. Our study

“…Schönbach et al [ 8 ] provide deeper insight into an example of health-related behavior and show that physical activity as a key factor of healthy aging, measured as sports participation, takes a positive leap at entry to retirement, but social differentials remain. A migrant background as well as the level of acculturation only had minor effects on the enhanced post-retirement physical activity levels in this analysis of German Socio-Economic Panel data.…”

“…One import factor for prevention as well as physical and mental health care is the availability of social networks. What exactly this role might be with respect to access to psychosocial care for migrant populations in the Netherlands is the topic of Schoenmakers and coauthors’ work [ 8 ]. Their qualitative study highlights the role of children in navigating towards psychosocial care.…”
