Yes, low testosterone turns muscles into fat leading to muscle loss.
During muscle building, testosterone stimulates protein synthesis (anabolic effect) and inhibits protein degradation (anti-catabolic effect) and this in turn results in muscle hypertrophy.
Research hints that heavy and endurance training can increase testosterone levels as they work on metabolism which in turn helps in boosting testosterone levels.
