TRT Prevents Decline in VO2 Peak

[Jinzang]

A randomized trial gave testosterone gel to older men, followed them for 3 years and found aerobic capacity did not significantly decrease in men on TRT, but did decline in the placebo group. The abstract says:

The mean 3-year change in V˙O2peak was significantly less in testosterone-treated men than in men receiving placebo and was associated with increases in hemoglobin. The difference in V˙O2peak change between groups may indicate attenuation of its expected age-related decline; the clinical meaningfulness of the modest treatment effect remains to be determined.

Another good reason for trt, thanks for posting it.

I've no testing to back this up but I'm positive mine has increased since beginning TRT.
