Abstract
Current evidence points to cellular anti-ageing effects of regular endurance training which may differ from other sport modalities. Effects of football training on markers of cell senescence have not been tested. One hundred and forty healthy, non-smoking men participated in the study, including young elite football players aged 18–30 years (YF, n = 35, 21.6 ± 0.5 yrs), elderly football players aged 65–80 years (EF, n = 35, 71.9 ± 0.5 yrs),...
