Chronoendocrinological studies in athletes. III. Certain psychoendocrinological correlations.

In 83 healthy athletes, statistically highly significant circadian rhythms of psychological parameters (as measured with the SAN-questionnaire [8]: feelings of well-being, activation [1], mood) have been validated and quantified by cosinor analysis. There were significant correlations between some personality factors, as measured with Cattell 16PF questionnaire, in 32 fencers, and some mean circadian hormone blood concentrations. No significant correlations have been found between parameters measured with Eysenck test or with the D48 test and the mean circadian blood levels of T3, TSH, CSL, T, HGH, IRI.

Chromoendocrinological studies in athletes. IV. Multiple hormonal responses to submaximal muscular exercise.

Responses of serum hormones and factors measured with the SAN-test (feelings of well-being, activation, mood) to a submaximal work load in 83 health athletes were expressed in per cent of the values expected individually according to the respective circadian rhythm [5,6,7]. In the most subjects a significant increase of serum HGH and a significant decrease of serum T (= testosterone) was found under the work load. Within 45 min after the completion of the work the level of HGH returned to the expected one, according to the circadian rhythm, while the level of T did not. Some other minor hormonal responses were observed. No significant differences were shown between the actual values of factors measured with the SAN-test and the respective values expected according to the circadian rhythm.
