Age and competitions

Each body-builder begins his career at 20 years in the game, and must reach the 21 years age before being able to take part in its first championship.

The age is also a secondary criterion of selection for the contests, as well as the height.
Three categories thus are distinguished :

It will be noted that certain competitions are reserved at a precise age (example: the “Best hopes” for the 25 years old body-builders).

Influence of the age in the game

eMusclor takes account of the ageing in two manners :

• Indirectly through body wear : with each birthday this one increases by 1% and cannot go down below this “natural” threshold. A 21 year old champion cannot thus go down under the 1% ; a 50 year old sportsman under the 30% and the 100% are not reached before the 120 years (theoretical life expectancy of the human being).
• Directly through the fat rate : the more one ages and the more difficult it is to preserve a low value, because of a fall of activity of certain organs (in particular of endocrine glands). However, this factor intervenes only in a rather thin way in the game.
