      Hmmm… I don’t have any scientific knowledge in this. But I would say that looking at professional sportspeople, somewhere around 25-30. 🙂

      Yeah physical fitness for men is around their late 20’s, but women actually peak when they are of younger age. I believe they are at their top when they are around 22. Of course there are big individual differences and with the proper training and diet you can stretch you physical fitness a lot longer.

      I have to second Katherine there – I’m guessing early 20’s?
