Zusammenfassung:Age-dependent changes of the indices of aerobic capacity were estimated in sixty-six former elite rowers and kayakers aged 30 to 67 years who were divided, according to their present recreational physical activity, into the active (A) and less active (LA) groups. The maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was higher in the A than the LA group. Compared to latter group, the former subjects demonstrated faster age-related annual reduction of the maximal oxygen uptake expressed in l; min-1 (1.4% vs. 0.6%; p
