Abstract

The authors performed gender analysis of efficiency caused by general bath containing antlers of Siberian stags in athletes engaged into winter sports. Male athletes demonstrated increased physical performance, low RBC membrane response to epinephrine, decreased cortisol level, higher testosterone level and longer time of breath-holding in Stange's test. Female athletes demonstrated no reliable changes in the mentioned parameters.
