## Summary

The inaugural Super Age Games in Manhattan tested how well people are ageing, focusing on abilities linked to living well for longer rather than sheer strength or speed. Organisers say the competition is designed to make longevity-related fitness accessible and enjoyable, and to encourage people to build healthy habits.

Developed with experts at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, the Games include eight trials: six physical, one cognitive and one social. Events test measures such as VO₂ max, balance, agility and memory, through activities including an obstacle course, a four-minute assault-bike effort and a memory challenge. Nearly 750 people aged 20 to 80 attended the first event on 7 November.
