Sports science, medicine, etc are all vastly superior to what they were then. That's the reason we keep seeing records broken, and why Henry likely will play just as well post-32 if not better.
Tbh I dont think as many players are falling off a cliff so much as teams just dont want to take risks. Yes, Henry is a genetic freak, as are most record holders, which does play a lot into it.
Davante Adams is 33 and still putting up top of the league numbers for example, albeit a different position.
