The effects of age on masters world record cycling performances- is cycling different than running or have technology and knowledge changed the standard thinking? (PDF Download Available)

This weeks research review is about the effects of age on Cycling performance. BRAC has proposed a 15 year span in the Master’s category, based on a belief that a 54 year old’s performance and physiology is competitive to a 40 year old’s. Let’s see what the research says. Maybe the author of this pager and my friend Greg Swinand will chime in. I do all the research so you don’t have to.
