Abstract in brief

  • Testosterone is a powerful androgen hormone that promotes muscle growth by stimulating protein synthesis and preventing protein breakdown through its interaction with the androgen receptor (AR).
  • The body's response to resistance exercise, including increases in testosterone levels, varies based on factors such as age, sex, and the specific exercise program used, with men showing a clearer increase than women.
  • As men age past 40, testosterone levels tend to decline by about 1-3% per year, which can lead to decreased muscle strength and the condition known as andropause.]

Testosteron is een van de belangrijkste factoren voor spieropbouw. Daarom hebben mannen meer spieropbouw dan vrouwen. En transgender vrouw? Vroeger mocht vrouw die niet chromosomaal+hormonaal+lichamelijk vrouw was niet als vrouw sportten. https://t.co/nunjcGGrK0 https://t.co/LmtQN1vUjU
