Title: Resting and Exercise-Induced Testosterone Responses in High-Level Ultra-Marathon Runners Habitually Consuming Low-Carbohydrate and High Carbohydrate Diets
Abstract: Low testosterone (T) is associated with lower muscle mass and bone mineral density. Ultra-marathoners are prone to training-induced hypogonadism but it is unknown if diet manipulation can mitigate this phenomenon. Resting and exercise-induced T in high-level ultra-marathoners were studied in athletes consuming low carb versus high-carb diets.
