Endurance Exercise Testosterone Impact

Meaning

Endurance Exercise Testosterone Impact quantifies the measurable influence of prolonged, high-volume endurance training on circulating testosterone levels in both male and female athletes. Typically, sustained periods of intense endurance exercise, especially when combined with insufficient energy intake, lead to a chronic reduction in total and free testosterone. This hormonal alteration reflects a systemic metabolic adaptation that prioritizes energy conservation over anabolic processes and reproductive function. It serves as a key indicator of physiological overreaching or overtraining.
