Testosterone and cortisol before (baseline), 24 h after (post), and 96 h after (recovery) the field exercise. Women (n = 14) and men supplemented with protein (Men Protein, n = 15) were independently compared with nonsupplemented men (Men Controls, n = 15) to examine the effect of sex and protein supplementation. Data were analyzed with linear mixed-effects models. ^aP < 0.05 vs. baseline (within group); ^bP < 0.05 vs. post (within group); ^cP < 0.05 vs. baseline (main effects, Men Controls and Men Protein pooled); ^dP < 0.05 vs. post (main effects, Men Controls and Men Protein pooled); ^eP < 0.05 vs. Men Controls (main effect of sex).
