      <dc:description>Background: The second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) has been calculated for individual athletes and sports, but it&#xd;
has not been investigated in futsal performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate any relationships&#xd;
between 2D:4D of the dominant and non-dominant hands and physical capacity performances, selected functional&#xd;
variables and hormone concentrations in elite female futsal players.&#xd;
Methods: Twenty-four elite female futsal players were measured for 2D:4D in the dominant (2D:4DD) and non-dominant&#xd;
(2D:4DND) hand. The futsal specific performance test (FSPT), hand-grip strength (HGS) and aerobic power were&#xd;
also assessed. In addition, selected circulatory hormones were measured (estradiol, cortisol, growth hormone and&#xd;
insulin like growth factor-1). Pearson’s correlation test was used to identify correlational relationships.&#xd;
Results: Total test-time and performance time (total time + penalty time) for the FSPT showed a significant correlation&#xd;
with 2D:4DD (r = 0.53, p = 0.005 and r = 0.55, p = 0.003, respectively). HGSND&#xd;
also displayed a significant correlation&#xd;
with the 2D:4DD (r = 0.59, p = 0.002). Aerobic power and time spent running on the treadmill also showed a significant&#xd;
relationship with 2D:4DND (both, r = 0.54, p = 0.006). Cortisol showed a significant correlation with 2D:4DD (− 0.58,&#xd;
p = 0.003) and 2D:4DND(− 0.52, p = 0.008).&#xd;
Conclusions: The measurement of 2D:4D ratio could be an important factor in determining potential performance&#xd;
attributes and talent identification of elite female futsal players. Further studies are needed in this area to further&#xd;
examine the results presented here.</dc:description>
