Correlation coefficients between the strength parameters and the plasma hormone concentrations of endogenous oestradiol and progesterone
| Muscle function | Oestradiol | Progesterone |
|---|---|---|
| Data are shown as Pearson and Spearmans correlation coefficients with p values below; n = 42 (14 subjects over three phases). MVIF, maximum voluntary isometric force; FDI, first dorsal interosseus muscle. There were no significant correlations between the strength parameters and the plasma hormone concentration. | ||
