Did you know that female athletes produce more testosterone … the male reproductive hormone …when they are in the peak of their competition…? Or did you know that these women athletes produce even greater testosterone amounts when 
they win a match…?
According to Portuguese research in female soccer players, the first known study of its kind in women. Interestingly… I also read at Neuroendocrinology Congress June 19-22 To Report New Research On Brain, Hormones Behavior that Canadian researchers studied a hockey team for an entire season, and will soon show through their observation how that winning at home is correlated with elevated levels of testosterone and the stress hormone… cortisol.
My question is..."How do these heightened levels of testosterone and cortisol impact athletes at work...?" What do you think?
