If you mean immediately before then yes, there can be a negative impact due to fatigue and hormone levels. [men and women athletes but especially marked in men]
If you mean "the night before the big game" - sexual relations have no measurable impact on performance. Staying up late to engage in that behavior will have an impact on performance. [also not a function of gender, applies to both]
Many years ago there was a widely held belief that such behavior would negatively impact athletic performance, this has been found to be untrue. A good nights sleep the night before is essential to maximum performance though and intimate activity often precludes an early bedtime.

The only reason anyone ever believed that is the athletes were either too worn out;^) or distracted from the task at hand to perform well.

I liked to have sex before I pitched. Usually, I pitched better.
