Study Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether maintaining a eugonadal state, during severe, sustained energy deficit, attenuates physiological decrements, particularly the loss of lean body mass.

Primary Outcome

Height was measured using a stadiometer. Weight was measured using a calibrated digital scale. Body composition was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. These data were used to calculate fat-free body mass, fat mass, and total body tissue mass.

Interventions

  • DRUG Sesame Oil
  • DRUG testosterone enanthate
