Understanding Anabolic Steroids and Stimulants in Sports

This homework assignment explores the complex world of banned substances in sports, focusing on anabolic steroids and stimulants like caffeine. Students are required to complete missing work, read an assigned article, and prepare for a class debate on the impact of these substances on athletic performance and health. Key concepts include the mechanisms of anabolic agents, their potential benefits and harmful effects, and the prevalence of steroid use among athletes.

  5. Supplemental Agents • Stimulants - psychoactive drugs that induce temporary improvements in either mental or physical functions or both • Can improve focus, alertness and energy • “Uppers” • Anabolic Agents - A group of synthetic hormones that promote the storage of protein and the growth of tissue, sometimes used by athletes to increase muscle size and strength.

  6. Anabolic Steroids • Synthetically created to act like naturally occurring sex hormones • Testosterone • Androgenic and anabolic effects • Androgenic effects include growth development • Masculinization in males • Anabolic effects promotes protein synthesis in skeletal muscles; increasing muscle size

  9. Anabolic Steroids

  10. Anabolic Steroids

  11. Andro vs. Anabolic • Individuals want to maximize anabolic effects and minimize andro effects • No steroids exist that have only anabolic effects

  12. Steroids in Sports • 6.5% of males and 1.9% of female athletes are taking anabolic steroids • 2.5% of intercollegiate athletes are taking anabolic steroids

  13. Negative Effects of Steroids • Teens • Premature closure of bones • Acne • Enlarged mammary glands • Males • Mood swings • Aggressive behavior • Increased cholesterol • Reduction in genital size

  14. Negative Effects of Steroids • Females • Hair loss • Voice deepening • Increased facial hair • Menstrual irregularities

  15. Human Growth Hormone • Naturally released by the pituitary gland • Amount varies depending on age and developmental period of your life (more during puberty) • Lack of HGH can result in dwarfism • HGH is much more difficult to detect than anabolic steroids

  16. Caffeine • Central nervous stimulant • Most overused drug in the United States • Awareness of it’s effect on increasing alertness and decreasing fatigue • Increased intake of caffeine can lead to irritability, increased HR and headaches • Headaches can be withdrawl symptoms

  17. Caffeine Physiological Effect • Enhances the use of fat during endurance exercise • How many Calories does a gram of fat yield vs. Carbohydrates? • More energy • Caffeine allows calcium to be more available during muscle contraction • Positive caffeine result can be from 5-6 cups of coffee

  18. Homework • Complete missing work • Read your article. Be prepared to debate in class on Monday
