Is it good to have sex before a sports competition? Some specialists claim that it helps concentration and improves performance. Others, on the other hand, argue that physical wear and tear occurs that can negatively influence the athlete.

Athletes, both they and they ask themselves more and more: Is it advisable to have sex before a sports competition?
There are many who think that sexual abstinence is positive before exercising because it decreases energy, but other trainers and scientists do not think the same.
The debate is more than open. There are for example top-level cyclists that achieve excellent marks, we refer to international events such as the Tour or the Giro, which say that they give up sex at least three weeks before the competition to be in shape. Being so my question is; What about elite athletes who compete weekly?
There are two factors that can lead athletes to believe that their performance decreases. In the first place: the sexual act culminates in a period of relaxation that is easily mistaken for fatigue and, on the other hand, the belief in semen as an energy substance.
There is a study to which many specialists allude, with data that confirm this. 'A study carried out in the United States in 1995 tested the aerobic capacity of a group of athletes who had had sexual intercourse in a period of less than 12 hours. The findings surprised many, as there was no difference compared to the other group of men who had not had sex. '
have sexual relations before doing sports does not affect strength or endurance and it helps us to be more relaxed. In addition, with excitement, the body releases testosterone, a determining hormone in sports performance since it can increase muscle mass, competitive drive and strength of the athlete.
Testosterone is the main male sex hormone although women also have it to a lesser extent. Generally, testosterone levels decrease with age, many times giving rise to different pathologies such as osteoporosis, obesity, the risk of heart attack or loss of muscle mass among others.
Increased breathing rate, repeated movements or stretching of tendons, ligaments and muscles are common symptoms in sports and sex
Is there still who thinks they are incompatible? Do not make excuses.
