Men who do more physically demanding jobs involving heavy lifting are more likely to have higher sperm counts and testosterone levels, according to a new study published in the journal Human Reproduction.

Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston collected samples and survey data from more than 1,500 men and women, focusing on a subset of these participants, including 377 male partners in couples seeking treatment at a fertility center between 2005 and 2019.
