Our findings indicate that the participants of an 18 week intensive endurance exercise training program experienced significant ( < 0.001) reductions in resting testosterone (-25 to -45% decrease from pre-training), with some reaching the clinical criteria for androgen deficiency during the training regimen. Nonetheless, none of the participants displayed any running performance decrement, in fact, the opposite occurred (+18.6% improvement; < 0.05). These preliminary findings suggest acute decreases in testosterone in and of itself may not be entirely indicative of a compromised exercise performance potential although elements of reproductive and bone health may still be compromised.
我们的研究结果表明，参加为期 18 周的强化耐力运动训练计划的参与者的静息睾酮水平显著降低（<0.001），从训练前的 -25%到 -45%的下降，其中一些人在训练期间达到了雄激素缺乏的临床标准。尽管如此，没有一个参与者的跑步表现出现下降，实际上，情况正好相反（提高了 18.6%；<0.05）。这些初步研究结果表明，睾酮的急性下降本身可能并不完全表明运动表现潜力受损，尽管生殖和骨骼健康的某些方面可能仍然受损。
