TABLE 2.
Correlations between the individual differences in hormones and the strength and body composition outcomes across each training protocol (n = 24).
| Variables | Full-body training | Split-body training | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Testosterone | Cortisol | T/C | Testosterone | Cortisol | T/C | |
| BP 1RM | -0.03 | -0.09 | 0.13 | -0.22 | -0.07 | -0.18 |
| SQ 1RM | 0.26 | 0.21 | -0.09 | 0.17 | 0.20 | -0.17 |
| BM | -0.08 | 0.11 | -0.26 | 0.10 | 0.29 | -0.31 |
| BF | -0.14 | -0.01 | -0.11 | 0.26 | 0.19 | -0.12 |
| FM | -0.29 | -0.23 | 0.11 | 0.18 | 0.22 | -0.20 |
| FFM | 0.10 | 0.32 | -0.44* | -0.09 | 0.15 | -0.22 |
Note: BP = bench press, SQ = back squat, 1RM = one repetition maximum, BM = body mass, BF = body fat, FM = fat mass, FFM = fat-free mass, T/C = testosterone to cortisol ratio.
