The maintenance of skilled performance is of increasing interest and importance in our aging society. Bortz and Bortz (1996) suggested that cognitive and physical abilities decline at a rate of 0.5% per year from peak performance. However, examinations of expert performance in cognitive-motor activities suggest that performance in these areas can be maintained with age. This study examined the career performance of 17 professional golfers. Results showed that the age-related decline in golf performance was on average 0.07% for the period 35-49 years of age and 0.26% for the period 51-60 years of age. While additional research is required to determine the generalizablity of these results, they indicate that the age-related decline in skilled golf performance is considerably less than previously suggested. |
