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.)

Reflexes and hand-eye coordination do decrease with age. E-gamers have a decline like conventional athletes. But, another important thing to remember is that as you get older, you also tend to have less time to devote to video games. I’m 31 and I’m not nearly as good at video games as I was when I was younger. I’m not at the age where it’s due to physical decline, but I am at an age where I can’t play video games like I used to. I i used to spend hours everyday playing CoD or FIFA, and now I just don’t have the time, or desire, to devote to games like that.
So while the drop off to your skill level likely is due in part to your age, it also might be due to the fact that you just can’t develop the skill with the same amount of time and effort you used to.
