Abstract

The physical exercise is one stressor agent responsible by endocrine system response. Quantify this response allow us to measure the type of exercise about intensity and volume. The aim this study was to identify the response of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) on the application of a specific test for Judo. A sample of 9 male judokas, 24.1 ± 3.1 years of age, 180 ± 8.4 cm in height and 73.3 ± 8.3 Kg in weight participated in this study. Biochemical analyses in saliva were performed to measure the concentrations of t and c in four times, S1 (rest 24 hours before the test); S2 before the test, S3 after test and S4 (24 hours after the test). Significant increases were produced in S1 and S2 to S3. In relation to the concentration of t, there were significant increases in the following moments of evaluation: S1T-S3T (p=0.002); S2T-S3T (p=0.001) and a significant decrease in S3T-S4T (p=0.004). The level of concentration of cortisol presents an increase at the same moments S1C-S3C (p=0.015); S2C-S3C (p=0.046) and a decrease in S3C-S4C (p=0.005). In conclusion, the developed test stimulates a great hormonal response to t and c levels. The test can be characterized as a short and intense activity that might be used as a tool to measure the state of force resistant specifically in Judo athletes.
