Performance trade-offs and ageing in the 'world's greatest athletes'.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 16 Aug 2017

Careau Vincent, Wilson Robbie S

Abstract excerpt

The mechanistic foundations of performance trade-offs are clear: because body size and shape constrains movement, and muscles vary in strength and fibre type, certain physical traits should act in opposition with others (e.g. sprint versus endurance). Yet performance trade-offs are rarely detected, and traits are often positively correlated. A potential resolution to this conundrum is that within-individual...
