A model that was proposed to account for age trends in athletic performance, and has received empirical support, suggests
A) that the extent of age loss in physical competence is greater for activities with higher rates of expenditure of the available energy
B) that the extent of age loss in physical competence is less for activities with higher rates of expenditure of the available energy
C) that the extent of age loss in physical competence is greater for activities with lower rates of expenditure of the available energy
D) that the extent of age maintenance in physical competence is greater for activities with higher rates of expenditure of the available energy
E) that the extent of age maintenance in physical competence is greater for activities with lower rates of expenditure of the available energy

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The model proposes that the extent of age loss in physical competence is greater for activities with higher rates of expenditure of the available energy. This means that athletes who engage in activities that require high levels of energy expenditure will experience more age-related decline in performance than those who engage in activities with lower rates of energy expenditure. This model has received empirical support, suggesting that it accurately accounts for age trends in athletic performance.
