ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight the importance of these findings in understanding muscle strength and potential applications in sports or therapy, indicating a noticeable impact.

Abstract in brief

  • Testosterone increases maximal voluntary strength and leg power in a dose-dependent manner but does not alter muscle fatigability or specific tension.
  • In the study, higher doses of testosterone led to greater improvements in leg press strength and power, with these changes being significantly related to circulating testosterone levels.
  • The findings suggest that testosterone’s effects on muscle performance are specific to strength and power gains, without affecting muscle fatigability or the tension generated per unit muscle volume.]

And then the decrease from 12 stairs to 8 stairs makes sense as research suggest T therapy increases max voluntary strength but not muscle fatiguability. https://t.co/qm20QF5EfS https://t.co/VAkjUpTP4F
