Sport for older athletes: athletes in World Masters Athletics Championships also excel in science
The first week of the World Masters Athletics Championships in Gothenburg is behind us, and the first gold, silver and bronze medals have been awarded. Many of the participants in the competition, dedicated to senior athletes, are also taking part in the DLR TaFMAC (‘Track and Field Masters Athletics Cohort’) study on the stadium grounds. While many are keen to tell us about their competition performances, this is not their only area of focus.
