Is AMH useful for Sport?

AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is primarily used as a marker of ovarian reserve in fertility medicine. In the context of sport, there is no established evidence that AMH is useful for performance optimization, training guidance, or recovery assessment. Some studies examine AMH in female athletes to evaluate hormonal effects of intense training on ovarian function, but this remains a niche clinical scenario, not a general sports screening tool. Its predictive value for individual training adaptations is low, as AMH does not directly correlate with muscle gain, endurance, or metabolic fitness. Additionally, AMH fluctuates naturally with age, menstrual cycle phase, and contraceptive use. A direct benefit for recreational or elite sport is unproven. Using AMH from a consumer test without medical interpretation risks misinterpretation and unnecessary anxiety. Evidence: unclear – no specific sport studies in the provided context. Sources: none.
