Inadequately trained athletes. Ophiocordyceps ganoderma supplementation. The effects of fungal supplementation on athletes at risk of overreaching/overtraining. Salivary testosterone (a), cortisol (b), and testosterone/cortisol ratio (c) after 3 months of Ophiocordyceps ganoderma fungal supplementation before the race (before race, blue) and after the race (after race, red). Data are reported as mean ± SEM. The testosterone/cortisol ratio value is multiplied by 100. The level of statistical significance was set at a value of <0.05 (* value <0.05; ** value <0.01). NS: not statistically significant.
