I think most involved in recreational sports are most generally from the sedentary professions. At least in the over 50 group.

I think some of us see age and fatigue as a fitness issue. Where some with a more "active" work life see fatigue as an age issue only. But I could be wrong. Many old guys I see on the MUPs are retired and looking to stay active.
