This apparent advantage doesn’t seem to play out in the real world.
I’ve criticised several similar papers in the last few years, one of which was retracted. So far I have seen flawed methodology, cherry picking evidence and ignoring widely available data on uncontacted hunter gatherer societies.
This doesn’t seem like quality research and that’s just at a glance.
That’s a you problem. As it turns out, science isn’t based on glances and vibes.
It’s plainly evident that taking any person with high testosterone and getting them to train at a physical activity will almost always result in better performance than training a person in the same way with lower testosterone.
The papers talk about the evidence based on ordinary, presumably nonspecialised individuals, not cherry-picking a few thousand people who have trained in such a way that testosterone can make its difference over time.
It’s not a me problem just a statement of fact that I haven’t spent hours going over the paper and its references yet.
You think that people who were living in hunter gatherer societies didn’t experience enough physical exertion for testosterone to play a signficant role in their physical performance?
Otherwise you’re just talking completely out of context… which is what the authors did in the paper you linked.
