The Chi2 test and multivariate logistic regression were used for the associations. ResultsOverall, 370 subjects were interviewed. The average age was 30.1 7.73ans. An increase in sexual performance was observed in all participants. The rate of increase of the refractory period was on average higher among practitioners of sport (p = 0.03). Multi-varied logistic regression introduced a strong correlation between the age group [35-45] [OR = 0.37, CI at95 % of OR= 0.37 - 0.87, P = 0.002], the male sex [OR = 1, 84, CI at 95 % of OR = 1.02-3.33, P = 0.04] with the improvement of sexual activity.
