Just watched some basketball and parkour videos and I was wondering how their bodies can handle it
In: Biology
I’m a month out of turning 55. I played football from 3rd-12th grade. I was a street skateboarder through my mid-30s, switched to street BMX into my 40s and finally switched over to only surfing from 42 to now. I’m still standing, but my knees have little-to-no cartilage left, my hips are all whack, and have recurring issues with bulging discs.
The top comment is correct, even for those of us who are not top athletes. Bodies operate the same. Too little? You deteriorate. Too much? You rapidly deteriorate. The latter is much more fun…trust me.
