TABLE 1.
Mean slopes (± SD) between the hormonal predictors and the training motivation and physical performance outcomes in the elite and non-elite athlete groups.
| Elite | Non-elite | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motivation | CMJ height | IMTP PF | Motivation | CMJ height | IMTP PF | |
| Testosterone | 0.86* ± 1.41 | -0.41 ± 2.02 | 59.8 ± 197 | -2.22 ± 4.17 | 0.02 ± 2.40 | -62.0 ± 227 |
| Cortisol | 0.97 ± 2.55 | -0.53 ± 2.43 | 91.8 ± 222 | -0.53 ± 4.68 | -0.90 ± 5.04 | 28.6 ± 207 |
| T/C ratio | -0.33 ± 1.35 | 1.04 ± 4.41 | -43.1 ± 359 | 1.89 ± 4.56 | -0.30 ± 3.06 | 22.6 ± 260 |
Note: T/C = testosterone to cortisol, CMJ = countermovement jump, IMTP PF = isometric mid-thigh pull peak force.
