Not sure about that. I’m in my late 40s and have smashed the crap out of myself quite badly in the last 20 years. I’m sure it’ll catch up with me eventually but at the moment I am peak fitness.

What is important is being healthy enough to heal. That means you need to eat well, exercise regularly and give yourself time to heal if you have to.

Edit: to be clear the injuries are obtained through risky sporting activities not through general wear and tear and general exercise.

To clarify my point about healing, most people don’t give themselves time to heal properly at any age and end up with a compromised outcome.

Right... isn't that what they're saying happens if you don't exercise enough so proving their point?

Actually that’s because I do a lot of high impact activities with some risk. The risks don’t always work out.
