A study has revealed that the two types of video that best motivate rugby players before games are porn and UFC.
The Times reports that an experiment “involving 12 professionals from a top English rugby union team” was designed to see what pre-match stimulation could improve performances.
The study found that players who watched four minutes of erotic dancing or four minutes of a UFC fight had higher testosterone levels afterwards and performed better in strength-conditioning exercises.
The study, which will be published in the journal Hormones and Behaviour, tested the saliva of the players afterwards and players who watched erotic, humorous, aggressive and training videos had higher levels of testosterone than those who watched sad clips.
