From the reported significant correlations, the maturity offset, Left 4D, Right 2D and Right 4D significantly predicted the Mod.505 COD test changes (β = 0.41, p = .04 β = -0.41, p = .04 β = -0.45, p = .02 and β = -0.44, p = .03, respectively). Also, the maturity offset measure had negative moderate correlations with COD changes ( r=-.40 | p = .04). The second and fourth digits of left and right hands had negative moderate correlations with change of direction (COD) changes ( r=-.39 to − 0.45 | p = .05 to 0.02). Significant differences were found for all physical fitness measures after the season.

Also, the maturity status estimation and the length of the second and fourth digits of both hands were collected at the beginning of the season. At the beginning and at the end of the season, all players were assessed for physical fitness. Twenty-seven youth elite Under-15 football players were daily monitored for training load measures during 38 weeks. Endocrinology, 150(11), 5119–5124.The purpose of the present study was two-fold: (1) To analyse physical fitness changes of youth football players after a full-season and (2) to examine whether physical fitness changes are explainable by estimated maturity status, 2digit:4digit ratio (2D:4D) from each hand and training load (TL) measures.

There was no significant difference in left-hand 2D:4D ratios between MtF GD patients, and their brothers, or female and male controls. MtF GD patients had lower right-hand 2D:4D ratios than female controls (p <.001), but their right-hand ratios did not differ from those of their brothers and male controls. While there was no significant difference in right hands between FtM's sisters and male controls, left-hand 2D:4D ratios were significantly higher in FtM's sisters (p =.

Regarding right hands, FtM GD patients had lower 2D:4D ratios than female controls (p <. 003) were lower in male controls than in female controls. We found that 2D:4D ratios in the both right hand (p <. FtMs were gynephilic and MtFs were androphilic. Sixty-eight GD patients (46 Female-to-Male 22 Male-to-Female ), 68 siblings (46 sisters of FtMs 22 brothers of MtFs), and 118 heterosexual controls (62 female 56 male) were included in the study. We compared gender dysphoria (GD) patients and their same-sex siblings in terms of their 2D:4D ratios, which may reflect prenatal exposure to androgen, one of the possible etiological mechanisms underlying GD.
