Life expectancy of athletes: There seems to have been only one
detailed study on this topic, which was published by a group from
Finland in 1993:
The study found the following life expectancies, when world class
athletes were compared with each other and a reference group of
non-athletes "The mean LE adjusted for occupational group, marital
status, and the age at entry to the cohort (and its 95% confidence
limits) was in endurance sports (long distance running and
cross-country skiing) 75.6 (73.6, 77.5) yr; in team games (soccer, ice
hockey, Basketball, as well as jumpers and short-distance runners from
Track and Field (73.9 (72.7, 75.1) yr; in power sports (boxing,
Wrestling, weight lifting, and throwers from field athletics) 71.5
(70.4, 72.2) yr; and in the reference group 69.9 (69.0, 70.9) yr." The
increase in life expectancy found in athletes was mainly due to
decreased cardiovascular mortality and participation in team sports.

What is the length of a professional bowling lane?
depending on the definition of career, there is no set average length. They time spent bowling in one's lifetime can vary too much. If by career you mean league bowling than it could be from age 4 for example to death if that person has the physical capabilities to continue bowling into an older age. If you mean by a professional career, the gap is obviously shorter since a bowler needs to get better in order to pursue that. However professionals tend to stop bowling on the regular PBA (professional bowlers association) around 50, but there is a senior PBA so it is once again varied a lot.
