June 2026 in “Brazilian Journal of Health Review” This literature review explores the impact of regular physical activity on the progression of male androgenetic alopecia. The review included 8 studies published between 2021 and 2026, highlighting that healthy habits, particularly regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep, can positively influence factors associated with androgenetic alopecia. These factors include reducing oxidative stress, improving blood flow, and maintaining metabolic and hormonal balance. The review also notes a link between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like obesity, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, and sleep disorders. However, excessively intense exercise may exacerbate hormonal changes related to the disease's progression. The conclusion suggests that moderate regular exercise could be a valuable complementary strategy in managing male androgenetic alopecia, though further prospective and controlled clinical studies are needed to assess the direct effects of physical exercise on hair health parameters.
