A new study by British researchers has concluded that weight lifting may result in hairloss.

According to the research, weight lifting elevates levels of testosterone that rise more and more during a 45 minute period after exercise.  According to British newspaper The Sun, testosterone levels then beg
in to drop as they are changed into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).  DHT has been shown to make hair follicles and hair roots smaller.

The lead researcher of the new study has concluded that there is absolutely no doubt that weight lifting causes additional baldness.  While family genes may cause baldness, a weight lifter may experience additional thinning of hair.
