In recent years, increasing numbers of women have participated in extremely long races. In
adult males, there is a clear association between physiological levels of endogenous sex hormones and
physical performance. However, the influence of plasmatic sex hormones and the effects of different
types of hormonal contraception (HC) on the modulation of physical performance in adult females
remain to be fully clarified. Eighteen female ultra-endurance athletes were recruited to participate in
the study. Different variables were studied, including hematological parameters, body mass index,
and body composition. Strength measurements were obtained using the squat-jump and hand-grip
test. A repeated-measures analysis demonstrated significant differences in hematological values of CK
and LDH pre-race as compared to immediately post-race and after 24/48 h. Furthermore, statistical
differences were found in squat-jump and hand-grip test results after the ultramarathon. Testosterone,
estradiol, and the testosterone/estrogen ratio were significantly correlated with muscle fatigue and
were found to be indirect markers of muscle damage. A multivariate analysis demonstrated the
protective role of testosterone against muscle damage and severe fatigue. Fluctuations in endogenous
testosterone levels were correlated with greater fatigability and muscle damage after the competition.
Adjusting the menstrual cycle with HC would not provide any further benefit to the athlete’s
competitive capacity [-]
