The whole premise is ridiculous. I am 47 years old. I train 4 days a week.

Age doesn't matter. It means nothing.

I am in just as good shape as most of the 24 year olds. On the off days, I run, lift weights and stretch. For my size, I am as strong or stronger as the 20 somethings and I am so flexible I can just about do the splits.

When I loose to someone my size, it is because the younger guys Jiu Jitsu is better. Period.

I am sore some mornings after class. But, that happened too when I was in my 20's. I consider the age thing to be the biggest myth on the planet. It is just an excuse.
