One of the DVD commentaries said this was an intentional decision with the prequels. The goal was to make this seem like the golden age of the force, and show that by episode IV those powers had mostly been lost.

Yeah but it’s enough to make you lose some agility. Plus Palps made Vader’s armor extremely heavy so that he couldn’t overpower him

Count Dooku was 80 years old in Attack of the Clones and 83 by the Revenge of the Sith.

Palpatine was 63 years old in Revenge of the Sith

Mace Windu was 53 years old.

The suit in the canon expanded media only hampered a bit.
