The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of a relationship between performance capacities and blood levels of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C). Thirty-two professional soccer players volunteered for the study. Morning levels of hormones were plotted against results of maximal vertical jump with a preparatory counter-movement (CMJ), 30 m running, and Cooper's 12-min running test. The serum T was positively related to both CMJ and average running speed (r=0.43 and r=0.47, respectively). Serum levels of C and T were in negative correlation (r= -0.40 and r= -0.49, respectively) with the results of Cooper's test. It was concluded that athletes with better explosive strength and sprint running performances have a higher basal level of testosterone. The results suggest a relationship between testosterone production and development of fast twitch muscle fibres in athletes.
本研究的目的是调查运动能力与睾酮（T）和皮质醇（C）血液水平之间是否存在关联。32名职业足球运动员自愿参与了该研究。将早晨的激素水平与预备性反向运动纵跳（CMJ）、30米跑和库珀12分钟跑测试的结果进行了绘制。血清T与CMJ和平均跑步速度均呈正相关（分别为r = 0.43和r = 0.47）。血清C和T水平与库珀测试结果呈负相关（分别为r = -0.40和r = -0.49）。得出的结论是，爆发力和短跑成绩较好的运动员具有较高的基础睾酮水平。结果表明，运动员的睾酮产生与快肌纤维的发育之间存在关联。
