I’m in my 40’s and I was just wondering when is the cut off when improvements stop happening and hand eye co-ordination decreases? I assume it does as you get older or is that not so? (I am a Gamer and I enjoy gaming as a means of stress relief and just wondering if there’s been studies saying such.)

This is true, but not in all cases, plus there are other factors at hand. I started playing CS from beta, during the end of Quake 2 era. Long-story short, I was a clan leader of a locally successful team for many years. I eventually moved on when I went to uni and joined an international team for CS, while I was invited to the UK team in a niche quake mod. I noticed that my aim was missing more, my eyes went a bit; now needing reading glasses, I was relying more and more on experience and outsmarting opponents, plus the younger generation who are born into it see and play the game in a different way which equates to higher challenges, plus I was getting bored due to repetitiveness, and excited by other things in life. I now own an xbox and play random games. In conclusion, I would say there is a minority of people from back in the day who remain top-notch and are still active to this day despite their age.
Edit: Part of what made me good was game knowledge from being there from day 1. But I still have the reflexes, but you lose game skill if you are not grinding and training regularly. Like all other skills.
