Resistance training (RT) induces significant endogenous hormonal elevations.
Incorporating resistance training can enhance hormonal levels beneficial for muscle growth.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
On the other hand, resistance training (RT) has also been shown to induce significant endogenous hormonal (testosterone (T), GH, IGF-1) elevations.
