The maintenance of bone mineral density in Master's athletes is linked to their sustained activity levels, and any slight loss is likely due to reduced physical performance capacity, not programmed aging.

“if you look at those data you'll see that bmd is maintained in in Master's athletes as long as they're maintaining their activity there may be a slight loss yes but that's probably because the loads that they're able to produce in their their physical performance also um reduce but it this is a this is an atrophy effect this is not a genetically programmed aging effect”
