The Case of the 92-Year-Old World Champion Rower

In this latest episode, Paul talks to Dr. Lorcan Daly, a sports physiology researcher and the co-author of a recent paper about a 92-year-old, four-time world champion indoor rower. While there are a few surprises, which I won't spoil here, the main topics include:

• How to preserve fitness across a lifetime
• The importance of goals and objectives
• Why it's never too late to start, unless it's too late to start
• Why VO2max matters more than ever in one's later years, but oxygen kinetics is too often overlooked

Here is a link to the paper in a recent issue of the Journal of Applied Physiology:
