Inside the elite Athlete's body: hormones and brain chemicals measured during All-Out rowing
NCT ID NCT07661953
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at how the body's stress, hormone, and nervous systems respond to a maximal 6,000-meter rowing test in highly trained male athletes. Researchers measure blood levels of cortisol, testosterone, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, along with heart rate and blood pressure, before exercise, right after, and during recovery. The goal is to understand how these systems work together and recover after extreme effort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help design better training and recovery programs for athletes by revealing how the body's systems respond to extreme exercise.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study in elite male rowers only, so findings may not apply to other athletes or the general population. It does not test a treatment.
