Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: -Healthy males -Age between 18-45 y -For control group (which are recreationally active males; 1-3x per week exercise, of which maximally 2x resistance exercise): BMI between 18.5-30 kg/m2 (this is not feasible in the well-trained strength group as the extra amount of muscle mass that they are expected to have will put them sometimes higher than 30 kg/m2). As we want to compare them to normal active males, we also do not want to recruit males with too much body fat. -Well-trained strength athletes (minimally 5x per week resistance exercise) and 15 who are, and 15 who are not using anabolic steroids.
