Hormonal responses to training and its tapering off in competitive swimmers: relationships with performance
The results showed that the monitored plasma hormones and metabolic indices were unaltered by 12 weeks of intense training and 4 weeks of taper. The T (total testosterone) : C (cortisol) and NSBT (non-sex hormone binding globulin-bound-testosterone) : C ratios, however, appeared to be effective markers of the swimmers' performance capacities throughout the training season.
