The myths of sex before sport - Should Athletes Abstain Before Big Events?

I had to write an article for a basketball magazine about sex & game. Basically how sex before the basketball game will influence the players. Is the sex before the game good or bad for the performance of the players?

Many old fashioned trainers are not allowing sex to their athletes before very important game.
Is sex before the game really beneficial to the players or athletes?

Let's take a look into science of hormones.
Sex is the best method to increase testesterone levels. And when an athlete has increased testesterone levels, he has more energy, more focus, more aggressiveness, more endurance and more potential.
On top of that sex will make you relaxed. Sexual active athletes have more energy and they are more relaxed. This combination makes an athlete very superior.
Sexually active athlete is more agressive and more relaxed at the same time.
Athletes who do not practice sex before games, have to control their aggressive levels.
After sex, hormones levels sink but only for a short time, but that short time is not important for the athletic performance.

Conclusion: Basketball players can have sex before the basketball game but only with their wives :) Now you know why Kobe Bryant is so successful as a basketball player.
