SUMMARY
Athletic performance declines after the age of 30, particularly in speed, agility, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and stamina. Scientific studies confirm that testosterone levels in men decrease by approximately 1% annually post-30, contributing to this decline. Relevant research can be found in articles from the National Center for Biotechnology Information and BioMed Central, which provide evidence of these performance changes with aging.
