Take Rodger Federer for example. He was into 40s still playing tennis at the top level. Tennis in particular seems absolutely brutal to body. Not only does it require you to hit the ball million times a day over and over again the same movement.
But it requires extremely fast change of speed and direction of your movement. I mean chasing the ball to the left and sliding or sliding to the left and suddenly realizing the ball is going to the right, aborting the slide and sliding to the right.
How do athletes like these keep their ankles, knees and hips healthy. I’m 24 and feel like my knees were done almost 5 years ago.
I wanna know what they do, how do they excercise and what drugs and shots they take.

In addition to what others have said, there’s a lot of survivorship bias here. For every top athlete who has stayed healthy for a long time, there’s probably thousands of unknown athletes whose careers were cut short due to injury.
