As men age, testosterone levels decrease. This can cause a number of physical and emotional changes, including weight gain, loss of bone density, depression, and reduced sex drive.

Lead researcher Hiroshi Kumagai, of Tsukuba University in Japan, and colleagues recently presented their findings at the American Physiological Society's Integrative Biology of Exercise VII Meeting in Phoenix, AZ.
