Discordant Models of Testosterone Function The project will study two opposing models of the nature and function of testosterone from two scientific fields (endocrinology and human performance physiology). According to the first, testosterone is thought to drop in response to training, differ sharply in levels between men and women, and to be the chief ingredient in performance; in the other, testosterone is thought to sharply rise in response to interventions, to produce highly variable effects, and to be an inadequate predictor of performance. New 'hyperandrogenism' rules draw on the first model only, though that model might not be the most relevant for the scientific questions involved. The research is likely to contribute not only to academic debates but also influence how the public thinks about these issues, as well as help to shape organizational policies. In addition, two graduate students will be trained in qualitative data analysis.

睾酮功能的不协调模型该项目将研究两个科学领域（内分泌学和人类性能生理学）的睾酮的性质和功能的两个对立模型。第一种观点认为，睾酮会随着训练而下降，男女之间的水平差异很大，是影响运动成绩的主要因素;而另一种观点认为，睾酮会随着干预而急剧上升，产生高度可变的效果，不能充分预测运动成绩。新的“高雄激素血症”规则只借鉴了第一种模型，尽管这种模型可能与所涉及的科学问题不是最相关的。这项研究不仅可能有助于学术辩论，还可能影响公众对这些问题的看法，并有助于制定组织政策。此外，两名研究生将接受定性数据分析培训。
