Correlation of Serum Testosterone Level and Morning Pulse in Athletes

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the relation between serum testosterone level and morning pulse of athletes during the summer training. The results showed values of serum testosterone and morning pulse were slightly changed on the beginning and end of the summer training, and the metaphase values of serum testosterone and morning pulse were both remarkably enhanced, compared with baseline. Furthermore, the serum testosterone level was markedly correlated with the morning pulse at four time points during the summer training above. In conclusion, there exists a significantly negative correlation between the serum testosterone level and the morning pulse in athletes during the summer training.
