Late onset hypogonadism (LOH, also referred to as age-associated testosterone deficiency syndrome, TDS) is a clinical and biochemical syndrome associated with advancing age and characterized by symptoms and a deficiency in serum testosterone levels. It may result in a significantly reduced quality of life and adversely affect the function of multiple organ systems. Although the treatment of LOH is primarily based on hormone replacement, other treatment modalities (medical or non-medical treatment) can also be considered for various accompanying symptoms. The efficacy of exercise in the treatment of LOH has already been evaluated in several studies, and many of them show beneficial effects for some specific symptoms and diseases. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between exercise and plasma testosterone levels, and the potential beneficial effects of exercise for each specific symptom of LOH, and finally to consider the appropriate exercise treatment for LOH.
