    Health Nerd Retweeted Dr. Veronica Ivy

    Some excellent facts about testosterone and elite sport 👇https://twitter.com/SportIsARight/status/1357723759910805505 …

    Health Nerd added,

    Dr. Veronica Ivy @SportIsARight
    There is no relationship between unaltered endogenous testosterone and sport performance. None. I know. Surprising, right?! http://bit.ly/transsport  Also, there's complete overlap of testosterone values for cis males and cis females. pic.twitter.com/DUh9mad8kd

        Also blood testosterone levels depend on many factors such as the ability to aromatise it into estrogen (like fatty tissues do) 🙄 With the physiological distribution of blood T in women I'm surprised that they still try to set a threshold...

        Do you know if women have the same ratio of "bound testosterone (SHBG)" to "free testosterone" as men? Perhaps the ratio is different between sexes?

        Coming from a weightlifting background, that’s really interesting. You hear all the bros talking about how those who are naturally at the upper end of normal lab ranges of T are gifted at muscle hypertrophy (the infamous “good genetics”). Looks like that is a myth, then.

        I wonder how the dataset looks when it’s restricted to weightlifting and explosive movements (weighed or not), like shotput, javelin throw, different kinds of self-propelled jumps and sprinting.

        There you go again, thinking that silly things like "facts" and "evidence" can overcome #TheFeels!

        Great example of the Univariate Fallacy.

        Please. Don't retweet or share this stuff. This is utterly wrong, and the data is not only not good, it is GIGO. Would you retweet Climate denier activist data? I am not sure if you are interested, but there has been extensive takedown on these claims.

        PLEASE look at this study. First of all, there were 18 powerlifters, 10 weightlifters. Track is kinda dominant, but there are 100 swimmers, there are even more soccer players and handball players than power athletes. This is really, really important.

        This means not only are power athletes underrepresented, the data you have on them cannot be taken for granted. They also created a model, amusingly, to INFER body composition, from only a third of the participants.
