Endocrine profile

Analyze the “Endocrine Profiles…” paper (attached), and answer the following questions:
In Table 1, how many out of the 26 variables tested show a significant difference between male and female
athletes? Remember, the p-values will indicate whether or not there is a significant difference between the
means of males and females.
Of the variables that show a significant difference, choose 3, and briefly describe their function. Specifically,
if/how they might affect human physiology and athletic ability (provide list of source links at end of post).
Do you think any of those 3 variables could be used to help determine if athletes can participate in a certain
sport? Explain briefly.
In Figure 1 what do you notice about the distribution of testosterone levels for elite females compared to nonelite females? What about for elite vs. non-elite males?
Based on the results from this paper, do you think testosterone testing is the most fair thing to do? Explain why
or why not.
