The study was conducted by scientists at Cologne Medical University (Germany) pointed out that, two hours after an athlete has sex, the level of testosterone is reduced, leading to reduced excitement in the competition.

According to doctor Truong Gia Bao, a male specialist who studies, players who have too much sex are at risk of lowering testosterone levels, thereby reducing muscle tone and the strength of musculoskeletal joints. This situation leads to players with reduced performance on the field, even shrinking muscles like cramps.

Sexual experts have summarized a formula for sex frequency for people 20 and older, which can be applied to football players on the field:

The calculation of this rule is: 'Relational frequency = first number of age × 9'. That is, taking the number of tens of ages multiplied by 9 gives the result. The tens of results are the number of days to maintain the 'love' cycle , and the number of units of the result is the number of 'love'.

According to this formula, the method of calculating love frequency from 20 to 79 years is as follows:

1. From 20 to 29 (2 x 9 = 18) is equivalent to one week of 8 times.
2. From 30 to 39 (3 x 9 = 27) is equivalent to 2 weeks of sex 7 times.
3. From 40 - 49 (4 x 9 = 36) is equivalent to 3 weeks of relationship 6 times.
4. From 50 - 59 (5 x 9 = 45) equivalent to 4 weeks of 5 times.
5. Between 60 - 69 (6 x 9 = 54) is equivalent to 5 weeks of sex 4 times.
6. From 70 to 79 (7 x 9 = 63) is equivalent to 6 weeks of sex 3 times.
7. From 80 - 89 (8 x 9 = 72) is equivalent to 7 weeks of sex twice.

If you exceed this frequency, it is not good for your health. However, the above formula is average and only considered as a reference, because the sexual needs of each person depend on many factors, can change in each person, depending on the physical condition, pathology , affection…
