Resumen

Existen reportes sobre la relación entre los niveles de testosterona y la agresividad tanto en humanos como en animales. La práctica de artes marciales requiere de tolerancia al dolor, control del miedo y por supuesto, suficiente agresividad para superar el estrés psicológico y biológico. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue el de identificar la relación entre los niveles basales de testosterona y la práctica de artes marciales, al comparar los valores de testosterona total sérica entre hombres deportistas y artistas marciales. En este estudio de corte transversal, se realizó la comparación de la testosterona total entre un grupo control de 15 hombres deportistas y 15 hombres artistas marciales. Los participantes cumplieron los siguientes criterios de inclusión: hombres sanos de 18 a 35 años, sin obesidad, con 1 año mínimo de práctica deportiva o de artes marciales, entrenamiento de 3 a 5 veces a la semana y un promedio de 60 a 90 min por sesión a una intensidad media-alta, no fumadores ni alcohólicos, y libres de testosterona exógena o precursores de testosterona. Las muestras sanguíneas se obtuvieron de las 8:00 a las 10:00 am y los resultados de laboratorio se obtuvieron por quimioluminiscencia. La media del nivel de testosterona del grupo de artistas marciales fue de 6.44 (±1.17) ng/mL y la media del grupo control de deportistas fue de 6.09 (±1.32) ng/mL. Al comparar las medias con el examen de T-Student, no se encontró diferencia estadística significativa con un valor p= 0.45. No existen diferencias significativas entre los niveles basales de testosterona total sérica de hombres artistas marciales y deportistas, y al parecer no existe relación directa entre la práctica de artes marciales y los valores de testosterona. Futuras investigaciones sobre las respuestas fisiológicas producto de la práctica de artes marciales son una necesidad creciente.
