Are there hormonal adaptations? It is less clear on adaptations to hormones, some evidence suggests elevated resting testosterone levels (not in older people). Overtraining can also confound hormonal interpretations. Does resistance training increase your VO2 max?

Study Notes
- Hormone changes in response to resistance training are less clear and can vary among individuals, with some evidence suggesting elevated resting levels of testosterone in older individuals, but the response may be blunted.
- It is important to get tested and consult a physician before assuming hormone changes based on general findings and starting any supplements.
- Resistance training may not significantly increase VO2 max, but it can still benefit aerobic performance through other mechanisms.
- Improvements in muscle strength and power from resistance training can enhance movement efficiency and economy, contributing to better aerobic performance.
- Strength training is recommended for middle and long-distance runners to improve maximal power, strength, and movement economy.
- Heart rate response during resistance training may not significantly improve cardiovascular fitness, especially in well-trained individuals.
- Using heart rate as the sole indicator of intensity or cardiovascular fitness during resistance training may not be accurate or reliable.
- Left ventricular hypertrophy can differ based on the type of training, with strength training leading to concentric hypertrophy and endurance training leading to eccentric hypertrophy.
- A combination of endurance and resistance training is likely to provide optimal overall health benefits, with untrained individuals potentially experiencing more significant morphological changes.
- Body composition assessment involves understanding the difference between fat mass, fat-free mass, essential fat, and storage fat, with various methods of assessment available but lacking universally accepted norms.- Increasing muscle mass can lead to a higher resting metabolic rate, resulting in burning more calories.
- The impact of muscle mass on calorie burning is significant but often exaggerated.
- Resistance training can improve muscle strength, endurance, and power.
- Specificity in resistance training tailored to one's activity or sport is crucial for optimal results.
- Men generally have higher muscle mass and strength due to higher testosterone levels compared to women.
- Building strength and muscle size becomes more challenging as individuals age due to hormonal changes.
- Genetics play a role in influencing factors like muscle building, strength, and aging effects.
- Overtraining, undertraining, stress, injuries, and lifestyle changes can affect training adaptations.
- Nutrition is a crucial factor that complements exercise for optimal results.
- Chronic aerobic training leads to increased stroke volume, contributing to higher cardiac output.
- Although heart rate does not significantly increase with aerobic training, resting heart rate tends to decrease.
- Resting heart rate may decrease due to factors like increased vagal tone from aerobic training.
