Can exercise cause hair loss?

[powersam]

looking at the people playing different sports can be very interesting when you related it to balding i think.

as has been previously noted distance cyclists seem to rarely go bald. you'll probably also have noticed its more likely for the goalie to be bald than the rest of the team in soccer.

not many bald tennis players out there either, but quite a lot of rugby union players are. makes you think lifestyle must play a reasonably large role hey.

nb/ i am only concerned with premature baldness. what happens after 40 really doesnt concern me.

I have posted this in some other threads too. Whenever I come back home from a nice workout, I am horny like hell. My libido is really really high. I mean on one hand I am tired after a whole day of working and then a rigorous workout but on the other hand my libido is so high. So exercise has something to do with T and DHT and this must be affecting hair in some way, good or bad I cant say.

Plus my scalp itches like crazy after coming back, maybe its just the sweat.

whatever it be I will continue to work out

the reason i said that is because its only premature baldness which concerns me. what happens to my hair after 40 really doesnt bother me. i'm 25 and quite a few of my friends are balding quite severely.

Uhm, I play a lot of soccer, and im in a 40 man team, and at least 15% is balding, and they are all under 30 years.

On a side note, isn't it well documented that steroids cause hairloss. Isn't that a well know fact?

YES

That sounds like a very typical distribution of male pattern baldness in an average population at that age.

I really don't think weight lifting speeds up hairloss.
Even if it did, wouldn't mixing in a good amount of cardio with your work out balance everything out?

I usually run 15 min on the treadmill before and another 30 after my workout. Hairloss has actually slowed down a bit.

I don't see too many pro athletes with hair loss....
