Abstract in brief

Increased physical activity has a more significant impact on raising serum testosterone levels than calorie restriction during lifestyle modifications in overweight and obese men.

Overall, boosting physical activity appears to be a more effective strategy for improving testosterone levels in men with obesity than solely focusing on reducing calorie intake.]
