- Abstract
Background: Most previous studies in the literature indicated that high intensity training is a powerful stimulus for acute increases in blood steroid hormone levels of males. The testosterone responses to exercise on females are controversial because in some studies there were increases and in others there was no change. The aim of this study was to determine alterations in serum concentrations of testosterone after an exhausting exercise in males and females. Methods and results: Eight physically active males (age: 22,25 ± 1,49 yr; height 177,62 ± 1,87 cm; weight 74,97 ± 3,32 kg) and eight physically active females (age: 19,87 ± 1,45 year; height 161,87 ± 3,18 cm; weight 57,91 ± 7,33 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. Using a cycle ergometer with 60 rpm constant pedal speed, the test of 15 W for 3 minute after warm-up. Before and immediately after the exhaustion exercise we collected 5 cc. venous blood samples. Statistical evaluation with SPSS 13, for p<0.05 and p<0.01. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study demonstrates that exhausting exercise has some effects on the total testosterone profiles of both males and females.
