This activity guides the analysis of a published
scientific figure from a study that compared the testosterone levels of
Olympic-level elite athletes.
Testosterone is a hormone that is naturally produced by both men and
women, though typically at lower levels in women. Some international
sports organizations use measurements of testosterone levels to
determine eligibility for competing in women’s sports events. These
rules are often challenged, as demonstrated by the case of Indian
sprinter Dutee Chand. This figure shows the blood testosterone levels
for 676 Olympic-level elite athletes, grouped by their biological sex
and sport. Using the graph, information, and attachment provided, please
complete the following by submitting 500-750 words, using American
Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition format. Data and analysis
from the worksheet should be included in your lab report.
Analyze and interpret data from a scientific figure.
Describe the ranges of testosterone levels found in male
and female athletes, and discuss their implications for sex verification
testing in sports.
