Physical Fitness and Semen Quality in Adult Men – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper by Inmaculada Pérez-Prieto et al. published in RBMO:
“This cross-sectional study examined the association between physical fitness components and semen quality parameters in a cohort of Spanish adult men assigned to categories of ‘high’ and ‘low’ fitness.
The results suggests that self-reported cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength are positively associated with semen quality parameters, while objectively measured handgrip strength shows no association.
These results may provide insight into modifiable lifestyle factors potentially related to semen quality and help guide future randomized controlled trials to clarify causal pathways.
The paper is published open access, available to read in full, ahead of press, from our August issue, now.”
