Does strenuous exercise aggravate hair loss?
From the research results, high-intensity exercise is more likely to lead to the increase of DHT, especially professional muscle training under the condition of gym, which can promote the increase of androgen level.

Therefore, for a person with hair loss trend, anaerobic exercise is more likely to lead to hair loss, while aerobic exercise, such as walking, running and other normal intensity exercise, will have less impact on hair. If your hair loss is serious and your family has a genetic history, then when you go to the gym to exercise, your hair loss may be aggravated by your hard practice. But if you just walk, run and play ball every day, you don't have to worry too much about it, because exercise itself is beneficial, such as promoting blood circulation, strengthening physical fitness and strengthening cardiopulmonary function, which are all conducive to hair growth.

There are two suggestions for people who like sports. First, appropriate medication can be used. For example, male hair loss is obvious and DHT level is high, so you can try finasteride, which is to reduce DHT level. Daily 1mg has a significant effect, and minoxidil and finasteride have a better effect. Second, try not to drink hormonal muscle-building nutrients during exercise. Although their muscle building effect is good, it will lead to a rapid rise in human hormone levels. It is very important to reduce the frequency and intensity of strength training in the gym.

We can't refuse exercise, let alone ignore some negative effects brought by long-term exercise, especially strength training. It's your choice!
