Popis: Success of sportswomen closely connects with peculiarities of formation of characteristics dependent on sex. Sexual differentiation of the brain from the intrauterine period is particularly important. Male sex hormones (androgens) play a special role in this process. Congenital adrenogenital syndrome forms prenatal increase of their concentration. This adrenal pathology in the mother or inherited in the girl creates a pathological state of hyperandrogenia (excessive content of androgens). This pathology forms a maskulinization (similar to a man) of the state of the female organism. Such a feature begins with a prenatal period followed by activation especially during puberty. Maskulinization of the girl's body is an important prerequisite for sports from childhood with subsequent development in adulthood.
