Book synopsis

At their core, sports are about challenging our physical limits. As the saying goes, though, Father Time is undefeated: age is the greatest limitation of them all, eventually thwarting effort and grace, talent and grit, outstanding teamwork and even individual brilliance. But a new breed of top professionals - the likes of Roger Federer, Tom Brady and Kerri Walsh Jennings - are overturning long-held assumptions about how long the prime of a sporting career can last. It's not that aging causes a decline in fitness; rather, a decline in fitness causes aging. Jeff Bercovici steps inside the lives of such ageless athletes, following them as them as they train, compete, recover and do rehab, and ultimately attempt to dispel conventional wisdom about longevity. Full of cutting-edge science, technology and practical tips - from intensity being more important than duration to the new devices that will shape our exercising future - Overtime will fascinate and empower no matter how old you are.
