Is explosive performance influenced by androgen concentrations in young male soccer players?
Results of the present investigation demonstrated that age, pubertal developmental stages, testicular volume, weight, height, fat free mass, and salivary DHEAS concentrations were associated with standing long jump performance. In addition, salivary testosterone concentrations were not related to explosive leg power. Results of the present investigation suggest that the teacher/coach should evaluate long jump performance relative to the subject's given biological characteristics, and not simply established standards based on chronological age.
The increased acetylation of extranuclear proteins may be involved in DR-induced anti-ageing effects including longevity. However, the mechanisms underlying the changes in protein acetylation might not result from quantitative changes in mitochondrial sirtuins and the mitochondrial protein acetyltransferase.
