Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the effect of oral contraceptive (OC) use on salivary testosterone (sal-T) concentrations and performance-related statistics in international field hockey matches.Design: A cohort observational study with repeated measures.Methods: Twenty-three elite female athletes were m...

Salivary T was assessed 45min before each match and several match performance statistics were collated; load (i.e. ratings of perceived exertion&#xD7;playing time), video-derived positive actions (PA) and negative actions (NA), plus coach and player ratings of performance. The sal-T and match performance profiles of OC (n=7) and Non-OC (n=16) players were compared and predictive relationships tested.Results: Pre-match sal-T concentrations were 35% higher in the Non-OC than the OC group (p=0.001), representing a large effect size (ES) difference of 0.96. The OC and Non-OC groups did not differ on any performance statistic (p&#x2265;0.348) with ES differences from -0.22 to 0.11. Salivary T was positively related to the number of PA during match play (p=0.017). Additional linkage between sal-T and NA emerged, but with opposing slopes (p=0.008) in the OC (B=-1.783, p=0.030) and Non-OC (B=0.692, p=0.127) groups.Conclusions: OC usage by elite women athletes was accompanied by lower sal-T concentrations, but the performance outputs of the OC and Non-OC groups were similar. This suggests that the T differences had no impact on match performance. On an individual (population-averaged) level, sal-T was associated with PA and NA during these matches, though the response curves predicting NA differed for OC and Non-OC athletes.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport</journal><volume>21</volume><journalNumber>5</journalNumber><paginationStart>453</paginationStart><paginationEnd>456</paginationEnd><publisher>Elsevier BV</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>1440-2440</issnPrint><issnElectronic/><keywords>Adaptive, Adrenal, Androgen, Neuroendocrine, Sport</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>5</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2018</publishedYear><publishedDate>2018-05-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.jsams.2017.09.017</doi><url>http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2017.09.017</url><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Sport and Exercise Sciences</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>STSC</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2023-03-14T11:39:14.9092388</lastEdited><Created>2017-09-21T14:28:06.5138768</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Sport and Exercise Sciences</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Blair T.</firstname><surname>Crewther</surname><orcid>0000-0003-4929-9456</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>David</firstname><surname>Hamilton</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Liam</firstname><surname>Kilduff</surname><orcid>0000-0001-9449-2293</orcid><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Scott</firstname><surname>Drawer</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Christian</firstname><surname>Cook</surname><order>5</order></author></authors><documents/><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
