does sex the night before a race hurt performance?

My college coach always told us to be in bed by 9:00, and home asleep by 11:00. He's in the D1 T&F Hall of Fame, so he should know.

"Do you want to have 12 stitches in your foot for your race?" - Prefontaine

it should be fine as long as she doesn't use her largest strap on

in all seriousness, I think it is fine as long as you get enough sleep afterwards

You talking about your race, or your performance?

Gotta quote Casey Stengel: "It’s not the sex that hurts athletic performance. It’s athletes staying up all night drinking and chasing women.”

As a former athlete i did not think so. Not trying to be crude but I'd imagine on the sexual orientation of the athlete. Straight probably not for a gay athlete who engages in a particular style possibly. I'd actually be curious to know if that requires recovery or is it just normal sex to them that is actually not painful. Keep in mind I'm a masters student in psychology that is straight but would be curious to know the actual side effect if any especially for athletes.

chances are your not doing it right, meaning no real consequences...

I heard don’t beat it for 3 days so your testosterone peaks race day

I think it'd be fine for women to have sex the night before a race. So it'd probably be the same for them

Practicing semen retention will give you extra clarity and focus to maximize your training. Abstinence is the best bet.

Then after your celebacy carries you to victory and you're being showered with glory, use this moment to secure relations with the alpha queen who is saving herself for a champion.

Never use P or M. These things make men and women futile servants of delusion. Be great in reality.

God is great!

Like anyone here could answer that question

This must be why in middle school I grew breasts and could never focus

I’ve hear a lot about semen retention and athletic performance

but what about the benefits of semen consumption?

by yourself ?

ask Arturo Barrios LOL..

disagree , I punched the clown 3x times night before my PR in the half marathon 1'06'22 in 1988. 90F

For the male (or penetrative partner) the end of sex is usually a kyphotic posture (hunched over, pounding in), feeling drained and tending to fall asleep, one and done. For the woman (or receptive partner), there is opposite pressure (being pounded out to release), into an extended or hyper extended posture (lordosis), and can continue to multiple orgasms, and final state refreshed more than drained. The mental side is parallel.

Obviously excessive efforts or something not used to will result in more recovery.

Some boxers go much longer

Unusual diet and medicine for sexual and reproductive ends are relevant to performance but less big a deal than general menstrual cycle effects on training.

I thought Vince Lombardi said that.
