The Need for Increased Rest with Age in Athletic Performance

Athletes may notice a need for more rest and recovery as they age, even if they feel physically strong. Comparing their ability to perform at their peak, they realize that after a rest day, their performance is better on the first day and decreases on the second day. This change could be attributed to a combination of age and they speculate whether it's due to training structure or age. A professional climber describes how at 30, he can still climb after a World Cup competition but feels he's not at his best, unlike when he was 16 and felt great the next morning. Aging athletes often grapple with the frustration of needing more rest despite feeling physically strong, showing the importance of adaptability in training routines to accommodate aging bodies.
