IU study: College athletes often sidelined from healthy lifestyle later in life

An Indiana University study found that elite college athletes often struggle to stay active in later years, facing limitations to their day-to-day activities in middle age that could be a result of injuries during their athletic career. Researchers knew that compared to non-athletes, college athletes experience more severe injuries — and long-term effects of those injuries. Findings that former elite athletes also scored worse on depression, fatigue and sleep scales were a surprise.
