I am not sure if it is more of an accomplishment for someone 75yo in great shape to accomplish a task than for someone 50yo and totally out of shape to do the same thing???
Your comment assumes a linear decline in abilities from - say 50 - to say 75+. However, research shows that that decline can be stopped, or at least slowed way down, by proper training and exercise.
I have mixed feelings about this one!
Interesting comment, though.
