Cardiovascular changes associated with decreased aerobic capacity and aging in long-distance runners

SummaryFifty-five male runners aged between 30 to 80 years were examined to determine the relative roles of various cardiovascular parameters which may account for the decrease in maximal oxygen uptake (

) with aging. All subjects had similar body fat composition and trained for a similar mileage each week. The parameters tested were

, maximal heart rate (HRmax), cardiac output (Q), and arteriovenous difference in oxygen concentration (Ca —C¯v) O2 during graded, maximal treadmill running. Average body fat and training mileage were roughly 12% and 50 km·week−1, respectively. The average 10-km runtime slowed significantly by 6.0%·decade−1 {[10-km run-time (min)=0.323 x age (years)+24.4] (n=49,r=0.692,p<0.001)}. A strong correlation was found between age and
