Abstract: This article examines the impact of competitive sports on male fertility, focusing particularly on the significant risk factors associated with reproductive dysfunction.Key mechanisms observed in endurance and strength athletes include hormonal disorders, oxidative stress, the use of anabolic steroids, and psychological stressors.Motivation is also an essential factor in male fertility, and sperm quality is critical.The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring hormonal levels and adopting nutritional strategies, along with providing psychological support, to help prevent infertility.Further research is necessary to develop comprehensive interventions to preserve athletes' reproductive health and performance.
