Is it callous of me not to worry about the testosterone levels of professional athletes? Because they seem to generally have enough. I worry more about people with RSI who often depend on overuse of anti-inflammatory meds and aren't demonstrably professionally masculine.
- anigbrowl 9y agoProfessional athletes make for a good study population because they tend to keep records of their training/performance/injury status. Also their behavior influences painkiller consumption in the population at large through endorsements or just interviews on their fitness regimen. If you like sports and know your favorite athlete uses a certain class of product to deal with cramps, you're likely to recall that when you're in the drugstore looking to alleviate a similar problem.
