Intensive physical activity greatly modulates the resting concentrations of cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) in the blood and their molar ratio, which is defined as the anabolic-catabolic index and is expressed as T / C × 102. The results of a study have recently been published (Ambrozy et al, 2021; J Clin Med 15-May; doi: …
