dc.description.abstract | Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of acute, exhaustive, and aerobic exercise training on testosterone and cortisol hormone levels and the testosterone:cortisol ratio in young adults. Methods. Twenty healthy young men (N.=8 control; N.=12 training) volunteered to run for 40-60 min/day, three days/week, and eight weeks at an intensity of 40-70% of their target heart rate. Venous blood was collected before and after high-intensity exhaustive running in order to measure the plasma levels of the hormones therein. Results. Testosterone and plasma cortisol levels and the testosterone:cortisol ratio did not differ between the groups after exhaustive running before and after training (P > 0.05); however, resting plasma testosterone levels significantly increased in the post-training period in the training group (P<0.05). Conclusion. Eight-week aerobic training did not alter the regulation of testosterone, cortisol, and the testosterone:cortisol ratio. | en_US |
