Exercise for Testosterone

Meaning

Exercise for Testosterone refers to the deliberate application of specific physical activity protocols designed to acutely and chronically stimulate the endogenous production and favorable metabolic profile of the androgen hormone testosterone. This strategy primarily emphasizes resistance training, which triggers muscle damage and subsequent repair, alongside high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The clinical goal is to leverage the physiological stress and recovery response to naturally optimize circulating testosterone levels and enhance androgen receptor sensitivity in target tissues. This non-pharmacological approach is a cornerstone of hormonal wellness and healthy aging for men and women.
