Does cardio increase testosterone?

From my knowledge, no. it may even have a detrimental effect on testosterone release& production since your body is being depleted of energy and resources needed to sustain cardio exercise and also rebuild itself afterwards.

however, resistance training probably has a positive effect on T.

High intensity short duration cardio increases test. Long duration cardio decreases test significantly because it spikes cortisol like crazy. Though low intensity long duration doesnt effect test much. I'd recommend doing just enough on occasion to keep good stamina and just eat the test decrease for a bit.

if you arent doing any or enough cardio then you are missing out on test, just do whatever is recommended daily
