We compared insulin sensitivity in 7 younger endurance-trained athletes, 12 older athletes, 11 younger normal-weight subjects, 10 older normal-weight subjects, 15 younger obese subjects, and 15 older obese subjects using a glucose clamp.
Insulin sensitivity was not different in younger endurance-trained athletes versus older athletes, in younger normal-weight subjects versus older normal-weight subjects, or in younger obese subjects versus older obese subjects.
We studied 7 younger endurance-trained athletes (YA, 6 men/1 woman), 12 older athletes (OA, 10 men/2 women), and 11 younger normal-weight sedentary (YN, 6 men/5 women), 10 older normal-weight sedentary (ON, 5 men/5 women), 15 younger obese sedentary (YO, 7 men/8 women), and 15 older obese sedentary (OO, 7 men/8 women) subjects.

Since finishing her career Radcliffe has worked on the BBC's athletics coverage and mentored young endurance athletes.
Studies have found that the bone mineral density of young endurance runners is consistently lower than that of sprinters, gymnasts or ball sports athletes.
Fahs et al. have recently described that the coupling ratio of arterial to ventricular elastance (Ea/Ees) is inversely related to the aerobic capacity as described by VO2max [ 39] in female but not in male young endurance athletes.
Studies of collegiate and young adult endurance runners demonstrated higher prevalence of low bone mineral density (39.8 vs 10%%) amongst elite and recreational runners compared to non-runners [9].
Thereafter, the effects of crank length on V0, F0, and Pmax were studied in female education students specialised in gymnastic and young male endurance runners [ 81, 149].
