Does Working out Increase Testosterone in Females?

There is one class of hormone names as androgen and testosterone, which is one steroid hormone that belongs to this hormone class. In the testes of men and the ovary of women, it seems to produced mostly.

A little amount of it also produced in the adrenal gland. It has both anabolic and androgenic effects. Its anabolic effects help to build muscle, tissues, assist with protein synthesis, and also improve the density of bone.

Its androgenic side’s effects are voice deepening, changing in facial features, hair growing, etc.

For both gender (men and women), testosterone has a crucial role in developing and maintaining muscle mass, level of energy, making the strong and increasing density of bone.

Working out or exercise helps to increase testosterone in females. Testosterone is important for women as it assists in improving bone density and muscle mass, where both of these decrease with age.

It also offers women some more effects. Such as- it impacts mood and most impressive is it increases the desire of sex among women.

Researchers found that these exercises assist in boosting the short and long term level of testosterone in the female.

Lifting weight is the most popular type of resistance exercise for increasing the level of testosterone in the female. So if you do exercise on trade mill but you do have the desire to increase testosterone then take a break from it. And literally, start to lift the weight which will assist you.

But the level of incensement of testosterone by weight lifting among men and women is not the same. One research found that from 30 minutes of weight lifting, men’s level of testosterone increased by 21.6%, where the level of incensement among women is only 16.7%.

In the following part, I will try to give a gist of some studies about how exercise and testosterone are linked.

• In one 2001 study, it was founded that resistance exercise temporarily raises the level of testosterone in women, and it also imposes an effect on the distribution of fat.

• One 2012’s study showed that who work out regularly had seen increased testosterone levels than those who didn’t work out at all.

• Another study of 2016 found that working out does more for increasing testosterone than losing weight.

Apart from work out, there are some natural and easy ways of doing it. Though they require a lot of time, you can follow them easily.

• Be conscious of your diet. Take a diet which includes high protein, fat as well as carbs.

• Try to reduce your stress level.

• Go out in the sunshine for taking vitamin D and alternatively, you can take vitamin D supplements.

• Some other vitamin supplements can also assist, such as- zinc, vitamin B, etc.

• Proper sleep can also assist

• Consuming natural herbs is another easy way.

Work out may increase the level of testosterone in males and females and mostly in men, but it has lots of adverse effects also. Especially people with vulvas have to face the problem of a significant level of testosterone.

So here my suggestion is if you have the desire to increase it and you are going to start to work out for it take some more days. Talk with one doctor and test your baseline of testosterone. After that, if your testosterone level comes below normal level take steps otherwise don’t try to increase it will give some other problems.
