Labels matter to some. I have a 70+yo friend who bicycled 24,000+ miles in one year a couple of years ago. He likes to be considered an endurance cyclist. Numerous times before my surgeries when being checked on by the attending doctors the nurses would mention that "he's an athlete" as the docs looked at my heart rate in the low 40's and then noticing that during the EKG it was 39bpm ONLY because I had to move around to raise it from the 32bpm after they hooked me up. Especially important info for the anesthesiologist when I get put under. Latest surgery was less than a year ago when I was soon to be 68yo.
