I resteem mr. @krnel

Probably inactivity tells the body it is in a coffin, and so the body responds by shutting down.

Whereas activity tells the body we still have things to do this lifetime, so repair those cells, pump that oxygen, man the bilge pumps.

exercise is healthy and healthy all body soul if andi do not want to always get in touch with the doctor believe exercise. @krnel

Maybe you often find people who have the same age, but it seems that one is much older. This could be due to the appearance or style of dressing different, or also because it's age is different from the actual age. Yes, it turns out the body age can be different from your current age.Biological age is different from chronological age.Biological age is the age of the cells of your body that describe how old you look. Whereas, chronological age is your present age that counts from your birth date. The age of your body cells may be older or younger than your actual age. This is what makes a person look older or younger than his age. So true, age is just a number.Experts suspect that the telomere (the very tip that protects the chromosomes) that makes these two ages different.@krnel

Yes, sports are important for the physical and the spiritual,
I only do mild exercise every morning, because the air is still fresh.
Sports should be done regularly, not forcing to drain a lot of energy in the body. One more important thing id set the diet and rest enough.

A couple factors that have influenced the study might be good to keep in mind.  As we live we endure a probability of injury and disease, as you note from your clavicle.  Injuries, disease, and other interests severe enough to preclude being a 'master cyclist' removed subjects from the study.

The study only sampled folk who were master cyclists.  The criteria for being a master cyclist isn't revealed in the piece prior to the paywall kicking in, but I note your inclusion of the km/hr metric for men and women, and I will assume this is the metric.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Master weight lifters, jugglers, or swimmers weren't included, nor any other form of exercise, or level of performance.  

It's entirely possible, at least not excluded from possibility by this study, that master editors, erotic dancers, and meditators may also have similar physiological profiles to those relevant here.  Since they were excluded by the researchers, smokers and drinkers might have outperformed this group.

The cohort was thus the cream of the crop of cyclists, the most exceptional individuals extant, rather than a typical group, or group with any other interests.  This means that their results are exceptional as well and apply only to cyclists.  This is a study of cycling unicorns, not normal people.

In order to be able to replicate the metric, assumably an achievement far more often attained by young cyclists, their bodies would need to be able to remain functionally fit per the studied metrics, uninjured, undiseased, and their interests must never have wavered. This cannot be assumed to be the case across the population as a whole, or to apply to groups with other interests, and could be the cause of their performance, rather than that their chosen exercise produced the physiological results.

I work with men in their mid-70s who remain active in construction, and I agree that it does seem that regular exercise prevents degenerative disease.  However it is entirely possible that regular exercise also damages people, who then can no longer cycle, or work construction, as happened to you, and would keep them from being included in my anecdotal sample of guys I work with.

For example, if someones VO2 decreased despite incessant cycling, they wouldn't be included in the study group.  Therefore the study isn't establishing that exercise produces the physiological results shown here, but that those folks whose genetics caused the physiological results shown here and maintained their interest in cycling into this age cohort could be included in the study.

This study is impossible to extrapolate into a broader population because of this.  This doesn't indicate typical results of staying active.  This demonstrates that extraordinary people remain physically active, and there seems to be no study available that delineates why the broader population aren't master cyclists at this age, nor even that they aren't.

It's good news for unicorns.  It's not proof that exercise causes these results, merely that folks whose injuries, genetics, or other factors such as disease or interest haven't excluded them from this category at their age are unsurprisingly well preserved.

As usual, the caveat that correlation doesn't imply causation should be kept in mind.

Thanks!

it seems that cycling is so exciting that my friend really likes cycling.
You are extraordinary

I worked all my life under dependency relationship, I worked in the supermarket category as a branch manager, this activity works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I did not have time to do physical activities, four years ago I work and live of what I generate on the web, now every time I can I go for a walk, I am aware of what you say and I agree with this information.
I also have to take more seriously the physical catividad
Many funny spor share this report dear friend @ krnel /

Hahahahaha!!!  Steemit is addictive,  it is kind of getting in the way of mine exercising, but I make up for because I walk to work everyday.

Important post you have made here @krnel. 

**Resteemed** for more views.

true

Well, Exercise is the only way to keep you fit and healthy, 
no, I'm not doing exercise daily,
I was a cyclist but now I'm not because now I have bike :( That is sad :(
I'm trying to be a full-time steemian, yes, little but it is affecting because nowadays i spend my most of time on steemit.

talking about sports, I really agree with your post. exercise is very important for a person's life, with the sport of the body being healthy and active, life in old age will also be more refreshed if the sport is done since youth, many orabg we see at a glance healthy, but basically they are not healthy, it is because lack of exercise , if we always exercise tekuni and also by eating a healthy diet then we will avoid the disease and the body will also be more excited. Thanks for sharing @krnel, I am very impressed.

Thanks I wouldn't have stumbled across this information if not for your blog. I will make a "real" attempt to be active after I am through with my exams.

I only exercise during winter, but mostly i meditate and read books,  i prefer building muscle in my brain than in my body. you asked that steemit is getting my way, nope it's not, learning is also some type of exercise on me.
