AB  - Masters  athletes  are  typically  older  than  35  years  and  systematically  train  for  and  compete  in  organised  forms  of  sport  specifically  designed  for  their  age  group  (Reaburn  &  Dascombe  2008).  Enjoyment,  health,  fitness,  social  benefits  and  competition  are  the  main  drivers  for  participation  (Medic  2010;  Walsh  et  al.  2018a).  Masters  athletes  have  been  categorised  into  three  cohorts:  continuers,  who  have  remained  engaged  with  sport  since  a  young  age;  rekindlers,  who  played  sport  in  their  youth  and  restarted  sport  in  older  age;  and  late  bloomers,  who  commenced  playing  sport  in  their  50s  or  older.  Each  cohort  has  unique  motivations  for  engaging  with  masters  sport  (Dionigi  2015).
