i disagree with the slant on this.
>We suggest that the informal and familiar environment as well as relatively short play duration help account for generally null findings.
null findings. the theory of the study was that testosterone would be released during gaming, with it being more prevalent in the winners. that's how it goes for physical sports. i wouldn't have expected gaming to release more T, but certain games can promote adrenaline release.
this study shows no evidence of gaming suppressing T production, it just doesn't produce it. many activities do not produce T, are those also `feminizing` males? the study makes no mention of gaming producing feminine hormones either.
i would also argue that choosing LoL as the game was a poor choice. it's an isometric view where you control multiple people. i've never gotten adrenaline rushes from that type of game. they should have chosen a first person perspective game. quake 3 arena and unreal tournament 2k4 were like pure IV adrenaline to me back in the day.
i'm also curious if they were accounting for other things, like how much caffeine / sugar the subjects had ingested. caffeine can account for the aldosterone decrease.
