Is it possible to regain speed and explosiveness at a later age?

lol you're 25, yeah you'll be fine. Unless you were absolutely world class in your earlier life, there's plenty of progress to be made. You may even surpass your previous abilities.

Sorry, but at 25 you can't use age as an excuse yet. Get to work.

At your advanced age, you should be focusing on light sustainable exercise activity like working on your garden, playing with grandchildren, lots of walking etc.

I love these responses. Before I read them I figured the OP was in his 60s like me.

Anyway as we age we tend to lose power which is why we should work on it even more than just strength. OP, you're fine but recovery will take longer as you get into your 30s.

HAHA! Love the replies. Well since I haven’t been active for 8-9 years was just wondering if the possibility is there. But based on the answers I just need to train my ass off!

6.55 FAT? At a track meet? Or was in one of those "academy speed tests"? Football players are dumb, you have no idea how fast a 6.55 is and you never ever came close to running that fast in a real setting or anyone in your football club, ever.

At a later age, probably not.

At 25 absolutely. Get your ass off the couch and do something :-)

You'll be fine, you're 25 There is still plenty to do, even if you weren't a world-class performer in your previous life. Your abilities may be even greater than yours.

No you didn't.
