After age 35, 90% of people never sprint again (based on observed patterns rather than rigorous scientific data), meaning people stop conditioning auxiliary muscles of respiration (intercostals) and the diaphragm loses strength, resulting in shallow breathing from the apex of lungs rather than the lobes, which prevents adequate oxygenation and the diaphragm's massage of intestines for proper intestinal motility.
