The impact of energy value of the diet and the supply of macronutrients on serum testosterone in male athletes
Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 1
Abstract
Androgenic and anabolic functions of testosterone make it the most important male hormone. Its concentration can be influenced by the intake of dietary macronutrients and its calorific value. The aim of this study was to review available research on testosterone levels among male athletes within the context of their effects of diet. It has been proved that both the calorific value and the amount of protein, fats and carbohydrates are not without effect on the hormone. Energy shortages and individual macronutrients reduce testosterone levels in an athlete’s body, thus affecting its training possibilities.<br/><br/>
