Sexual activity is often associated with a negative influence on physical performance. Likewise, sexual abstinence before a sport activity is not only a recent trend. Although scientific data points to none or small effect. On the other hand, testosterone levels could be positive affected by sexual restraint. This pilot study aims to test a complex research approach to measuring effect of sexual abstinence on sport performance in combative sports. Sample consists of two athletes aged 26 years. The length of the relationships with their partners was 4±1.4 years. Both were tested three times in the ten days. Testing protocol included blood sample (testosterone level), hand dynamometry, Wingate test, YMCA bench press test, reactometry and determination test. Supplementing qualitative data was collected through daily record form and closing interview. Period of sexual restraint lasted one week. Although there is no united trend, results show some changes in physical and psychical abilities in both cases. Also changes in sexual fantasy, spontaneous arousal and appetence, moods or concentration were reported by participants. This pilot study uses a comprehensive design and suggest new ways for future research, which is needed due to lack of empirical data in this issue.
