Impact of physical activity and exercise on male reproductive potential: a new assessment questionnaire

[摘要] Physical activity programs improve health and the quality of life, but excessive or exhaustive exercise exposure can lead to negative side effects, with one of the most recently recognized being possible fertility issues in both females and males when training load is elevated and intense, though this is not universally recognized. Physical activity (exercise) could exert beneficial or detrimental effects depending on the several inherent exercise regimen parameters: type, intensity, volume, objective, or organization. Regrettably, there is still lack of consensus on these effects.1 Extensive and important work has been done assessing female athletes in this regard but this reviewed is delimited to males only.
