Age

From Maxithlon

It corresponds to the age of the athlete and it determine his category (young, senior, master). Young athletes are from 14 to 17 years old, Senior athletes are from 18 to 34 years old and Master athletes are over 35 years old.

The age of an athlete changes together with all the others at the beginning of the season.

If the athlete is under 18 years old it won't receive any wage, but he cannot even receive offers by sponsors.

If the athlete is 25 years old or older it isn't possible to change the specialty anymore.

The age also influences the weekly training of the athlete, in fact an older athlete will take more time to improve in comparison to a younger one, in general every 2 years more than 15 years old the athlete undergoes a decrease of the training equal to about one week more. An old athlete is also subject to a more evident decrease of skills according to the age. Besides an old athlete will also have a greater difficulty to have a good form and high moral; this means that in general these two skills will have lower values.
