When I turned 30, I abruptly declined physically also. And I play a defensive position in my rec league sport. It's just a magic number. I felt like a world-beater at 27, but when I hit 30, plunk.
I'm 33 and feel better than ever. If you avoid injuries and take proper care of yourself early to mid 40s are when men experience steep decline.When I turned 30, I abruptly declined physically also.

Low fat, medium protein, high carb plant-based diet.What's your secret? Vitamins and lots of water everyday?

This is something I have been thinking about. When compared to previous generation of defensemen, the current 30+ dmen are either struggling, having bad years, or complete fallen off the cliff.
For guys like lidstrom, bourque, pronger, stevens, pronger, macinnis, chelios, niedermayer, coffey, leetch and a few others I'm probably forgetting, they were still good when turning 30.
Granted, everyone declines at a different age, but these guys were still good up to their mid 30's at least. Most lasted until their late 30's, and a few still very good in their 40's.
So why is so many 30+ dmen are struggling today?
It's unbelievable that ek has won the Norris twice. Guy has fallen off the cliff completely.
those guys are the exception not the rule. That’s what makes them all special and great and why they stand out.
The names OP mentioned are a major exception .. they were just freaks lol

The pace of the game and the speed of the individual players are much higher today, than it was only 20 years ago.
Many 30+ players who used to be able to make quick decisions withing the split second they had, now have to make them 0,1 second earlier - and can't do it.
Also, going up against the incredibly fast young players coming up, reveals their weaknessness even more.
Nick Lidstrom at age 40 would have huge trouble in today's NHL, while he was still Norris-worthy at age 40 when he was active.
The game changes and all players can't cut it.
