I'm under the impression that, while other types of exercise may increase testosterone output, muscle building exercise has by far the greatest effect. I imagine it has a similar effect on women. My guess (purely supposition) is that, since the body is trying to repair muscle, it boosts the testosterone output as testosterone is conducive to greater muscle repairing (and therefore building) ability. Sort of a cyclical effect if you will; start working out, body releases more testosterone to compensate, more muscle is built, and so on.
