The Netherlands Team
Rationale for Study Group
In the Netherlands, regular exercise is key to promoting a longer, healthier life, as shown by studies on lifespan and healthspan. Athletes typically display better cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and metabolic profiles than non-athletes. However, gaps remain in athletes' understanding of how training affects aging and long-term health. This highlights the need for targeted education and resources to support informed decisions on lifespan and healthspan, benefiting both athletes and the broader population.
