Abstract
We illustrate that exercise training generates superior outcomes to testosterone treatment for improving aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and total and visceral fat mass in men 50-70 yr with low-normal serum testosterone concentrations. Adding testosterone treatment to exercise did not provide any additive benefit for these variables. Testosterone treatment alone and exercise alone had similar impacts on lean mass. Therefore, men unable to exercise may obtain benefit from testosterone treatment alone to improve lean mass.
