Description: For my undergraduate honors thesis I recruited and interviewed NCAA Division 1 and 3 swimmers across the country to analyze their physical and mental wellbeing
Regular physical activity protects against cellular aging, but a recent study found shorter telomere length (TL) in professional swimmers compared to less active controls. Shorter TL is associated with increased cellular senescence and functional decline with age, suggesting swimmers may be at increased risk for age-related morbidity. Previous studies reported competitive swimmers face high levels…
