Baseline Strength Can Influence the Ability of Salivary Free Testosterone to Predict Squat and Sprinting Performance
The objective of this study was to determine if salivary free testosterone can predict an athlete's performance during back squats and sprints over time and the influence baseline strength on this relationship. Ten weight-trained male athletes were divided into 2 groups based on their 1 repetition maximum (1RM) squats, good squatters (1RM 2.0 × body weight, n = 5) and average squatters (1RM 1.9 × body weight, n = 5). The good squatters were stronger than the average squatters (p 0.05). Each subject was assessed for squat 1RM and 10-m sprint times on 10 separate occasions over a 40-day period. A saliva sample was collected before testing and assayed for free testosterone and cortisol. The pooled testosterone correlations were strong and significant in the good squatters (r = 0.92 fo...
