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.)

Depends entirely on the person. My dad didn’t start to slow until his 60’s and his reflexes were still insane, his muscles just couldn’t keep up anymore.
Usually I think it has more to do with less time to practice and devote to the game, as well as it being overall less important so the focused practice required for real improvement happens less even when you DO play. I’m about to turn 41 and feel sharp as ever. My uncle who is in his 70’s and spent most of his college free time playing foosball, still does things with a foosball table that I didn’t even think was possible. His coordination and reflexes are still so insane, that IF they have somehow deteriorated, then he must have been Data in college…
But then I know people in their 60’s who struggle to get up and down stairs and probably shouldn’t drive a car.
