"... Olympic medalists lived an average of 2.8 years longer than their age-
matched peers. More specifically, 8 percent more of the medalists than the
non-Olympians were still living 30 years after they had won their medals.'

Medalists in endurance sports like marathon running and cycling and in “
mixed” sports that involve technique as well as exertion, like cricket,
golf and croquet (yes, all once Olympic sports), shared similarly extended
lifespans. About 13 percent more of them were alive 30 years after their
Olympic success than their non-Olympian counterparts.

However, medalists in power sports, like weight-lifting and the hammer throw
, were not as long-lived. Only about 5 percent more of them were alive 30
years after their wins than were non-Olympians of the same age."

"..results suggest that “the cardiovascular and health benefits of
endurance and mixed sports are greater” than the health benefits of power
sports, at least in terms of longevity."
