Strength training and hormones

December 18th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

Non weight trainers were put on a 3 day a week strength training program. Immediately after strength training, there was a decrease in androgens and a decrease in the anabolic/catabolic hormones ratio.

After the recovery, there was an increase in androgen levels…especially epitestosterone. The increase in androgens correlated with increases in strength.
