Physical peaks are only relevant for world-class athletes, as they are the only ones who actually reach them. For the rest of us who aren't anywhere near our actual potential, we can still reach a personal peak within all of the subjects a lot later in life, but it's entirely dependant on how much effort and time we put into it.

[@DouglasEdward84]

This isn't completely true, for instance I have a physical job at my farm, my peak physical form was important in what I was able to do physically around the place and if we needed to hire help for some of the more demanding tasks. A strenuous day now for me at 40 takes more out of me than it did at 25 despite me still being in decent shape for a 40 year old.

I believe that life is full of peaks and valleys, but that when you zoom out, all of life can be a continuous climb towards betterment, understanding, and growth. Through the experiences of being young and looking forward, to then growing old and looking back. It’s all part of the journey we each get to embark on. I hope that you all are learning and growing, wherever you are, upon your own mountain.

[@atklm1]

I’m 42 and I find it amusing how this suggest some mental peak at twenties. The way I remember it, we were pretty much emotionally unstable in twentysomethings. All your friends are kinda jerks and you drink too much alcohol. 30’s were more stable but more depressed and competing with your peers. Life truly starts at 40’s, and 100% of my friends in their 40’s and 50’s agree. Everything just gets easier, you’re smarter than ever before, and people of your age become genuinely nicer 😊

[@Kkubey]

In your early 20s, your knowledge is limited and you really have no idea how life works. I knew how to keep jerks and drugs out of the picture thanks to listening to older generations, though. As I am in my late 20s, I see improvements but I will probably think the same later on about this time. At the same time, I think my ability to learn was a lot better in my late teens than later on.

[@Jordanthecool7]

I guess it depends. I’ve known so many older adults who say their teens and early 20’s were the most fun times in their lives. They had little to no responsibilities, no kids to take care of , work is much easier since it’s most likely just some part time job instead of working 50-60 hours a week like they do now. Also a lot of them also either let themselves go after their 20’s , or they never work out to begin with and their bad habits catch up to them , which them being unfit physically could also have a negative effect mentally as well. Ultimately it depends on how well someone lived their 20’s , as well as weather the person continued to improve in terms of quality of life after their 20’s .

[@niphotwala188]

People peak in their 20s..whether mentally or physically. Not drinking too much anymore is not a sign of maturity...your aging body just can't handle the late night binges anymore..so you drink less. That doesn't make you more mature...you simply have no choice. It's like saying an elderly is more mature because they sleep early and don't do physical labor. It's not maturity, they just can't anymore.

[@atklm1]

@@niphotwala188 20’s is physical peak, that much is true. Well, the potential anyway, some people are in bad shape and obese in their 20’s but run a marathion in their 40’s, but physical potential is in 20’s. And when it comes to alcohol, your body adjusts, tolerance builds up. Alcoholic in his 60’s can drink inexperienced guy in his 20’s under the table without even becoming heavily intoxicated. But mental peak, no. Definitely not. Twentysomething is a child 😄

[@nobodycares41431]

Clearly all of you are dumb and immature still. In my 20s I never drank or partied. Don’t see the fun in feeling like crap and making fake “friends”. In my 30s, still feeling the exact same as I did many years ago. People don’t peak in their 20s, your peak is supposed to last 5-10 years, but for the vast majority of you who don’t take care of yourself, it runs dry very fast.

What I *LOVE* about getting old that you get calmer and wiser over time ( usally). I wouldn't change any young body over this seriously. I can't believe how naive, dumb and triggerhappy I was when I was younger.Sure, I still get mad etc. but I can put things into relation and overall don't make a fuss about things I can't change whatsoever and are not dangerous to people I like or myself. [ The "problem" is, I knew this when I was young already but only can "live it" with enough lfie experience so its really a thing of patiente rather than self improvement] Also its important to acknowledge that personal peaks are more important than statistical median depicted in this video, I was pretty unfit in my late 20s but got ripped in my late 30s so my personal peak was way later.

[@2707198727071987]

Guys, this is valid for the peak of the peak. For the regular person, you won't even notice that much different as long as you stay active and healthy. I've been working out in the gim for over 20 years now, and I'm still improving (i' m 37yo now). The only thing that does get worst it s hangovers... haha, but there is a twist, you now know how to avoid them. I m sure that for those who didn't gave up on going out and and get e few drinks, they now know how to drink and avoid hangovers at all. You become smarter as you age. Same thing for cognitive capacity. You might start to fill that memory ain't as sharp, but you find ways around it, and all things you've learned at life allows you to find mechanisms to learn things or worlk around them in a different way. I can only speak by myself now, let's see 10 years, 20 years , 30 years from now. I also have faith in new technology. Perhaps in a near future we might be able to improve in further as we age

[@julioaurelio]

“Humans are built to move. We evolved under conditions that required daily intense physical activity, and even among individuals with lower physical potential, that hard-earned genotype is still ours today. The modern sedentary lifestyle leads to the inactivation of the genes related to physical performance, attributes that were once critical for survival and which are still critical for the correct, healthy expression of the genotype. The genes are still there, they just aren't doing anything because the body is not stressed enough to cause a physiological adaptation requiring their activation. The sedentary person's heart, lungs, muscles, bones, nerves and brain all operate far below the level at which they evolved to function, and at which they still function best.” - Mark Rippetoe

[@cinebient5343]

Most scientists have their peak at mid30s to early 40s. In sports you are mostly old after 30-35+ but if you never was on peak in younger years you can still try that with 40+ or even 50+. My life is like a wave. I had my peak in my early 20s then was not very active to get another peak in my early 40s, then it gone down and now i am fighting back to the best myself i can be in my late 40s. I do not expect to be fit as in my 20s but there is one great thing about age. A lot things does not matter anymore and i def. think i am mentally more on peak as i could ever been in my 20s. Well, maybe i have a midlife crisis but that is also a good thing to change things until i feel better. One thing for sure, the older you get it is harder to stay healthy and fit and look good but if you can achieve it you really feel great and also stand more out of the crowd. There are so many healthy, fit and good looking young people but after 45+ a lot people let them go, eating still junk food, no sport, does not care how they look, drinking too much alcohol and maybe are smoking etc.....well, you pay the price. You could say it is never too late to change that but one day it is....... Oh and i bought my first airfryer just this year in summer....i like it :)

Average age for Field Medalists is around 36y (stdev ~3.5y), but of course for the majority their 'lightbulb' age, when foundational insights were made, will be perhaps a decade earlier. Saying that, for those select few who won both the Fields and Abel prizes, the average age difference between the two awards is ~36y.

This is why I always thought physicists are happier as people than world class athletes or movie stars. It might sound good on the surface but you peak so early in life. Whereas most nobel prize laureates are in their 70s. You have so much more to look forward to as your work bears fruit much later on in life.

Interesting analysis. It's easier for a physicist to be more wise and content than someone who's always lived beyond expectations.

[@zlonewolf]

@alexshi wrong most Nobel Laurettes are for mundane things like peace prize and useless to science 😂 nor has any mental gift to accomplish. Also Nobel prize winners don't peak and get award later in life. Some are young and got it while they were young and actually peaked earlier later on retiring or do not output anything thereafter their fame peaked to accomplish other prizes or recognition in their older years of life. Albert Eistein was in his 40s when he got nobel prize. Hardly old at all. Marie Curie received hers when she was 35 yrs old. Neil Bohr received his at young age of 20s.

I talked about this with my 95 year old grandpa a few weeks ago. According to his experience, the best time of your life is from your 40s to your 60s. When you're younger, you're still dealing with stuff like building a career and starting a family. And when you're older, age starts to catch up with you. But think about how life is when you're between 40 and 60. You made it. You have lots of experience in your job and reached the position you wanted. You have a wife and kids. You have a stable social life with friends that you've known for decades. On the other hand, you are not yet old. You can stil run a marathon. You might not win it, but you can surely cross the finish line.

Peaks in sport are highly prone to error... People lose ambition when they make money they want to retire when they feel they are at peak, Injuries are a big thing that skews the stats, people quit often if they suspect they cant go higher (genetic max achieved) then they quit already in early 30s. So its a function of time more than aging assuming they quit by early 40s. Some sport are more punishing like 100m dash that penalizes even for slightest decrease in Vo2 max. Brian shaw just won at 45 worlds strongest competition against runner up 28 year old, Easy. German won couple decades ago gold metal in running at 43, if i recall right, and running is highly punitive in terms of cardio decline. Usain Bolt could have continued at the top if he wanted, but he wanted to retire at peak. NHL has had many 40s all stars players. People compete in early 40s successfully against 20 year olds and the biological aging is not an issue generally as aging only starts to severely ramp up around mid 40s (varies by genetics and past lifestyle on average at 44) unless you suffer from premature aging due to po1soning yourself, mens anabolic androgens start to only decline around 40 very slowly assuming healthy lifestyle, for subset of men there is no decline..
