A member asked:

Is there a relationship between low testosterone levels and increased likelihood of athletic injury(tears, sprains, etc)and/or poor recovery from injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Testosterone is a hormone found in both men and women. Lower levels are normal for women and are not causative of injuries.
