Wearing Colored Glasses can Influence Exercise Performance and Testosterone concentration?

André M. Londe et al.

There is a connection between higher testosterone concentration and better human performance and improved muscle function. Also, the color red is associated with higher testosterone and physiological arousal level, but it is unknown if a surrounding red environment can influence testosterone concentration and exercise performance. Thus, we evaluated the acute effect of wearing colored-lens glasses on YoYoIE2 performance, testosterone concentration, and other physiological indicators. We hypothesized that glasses with red lenses would increase both the testosterone concentration and exercise performance.
