Interventions

DRUGTestosterone Undecanoate

Following testosterone/placebo injection, participants undergo supervised resistance training for 4 weeks. This period is followed by a washout period with no drug and either continued resistance training or detraining for 16 weeks. Thereafter, another 4-week period with supervised resistance training is commenced, with no drug.
