What Age Do You Start Losing Pace? Understanding the Inevitable Slowdown

According to a study published by the American Physiological Society, peak athletic performance is typically reached around the late 20s, with a gradual but steady decline beginning in the early to mid-30s. This means for most athletes, answering the question, "What age do you start losing pace?" points to the start of a linear decline from the early 30s onward. However, a sedentary lifestyle contributes more significantly to speed loss than pure biological aging, and consistent training can dramatically slow this process.
