Discuss the usage of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids by athletes
- Find a performance enhancing drug that DIRECTLY AFFECTS MUSCLE TISSUE (This means that drugs that affect the cardiovascular system will not count here – for example the ‘doping’ drug that Lance Armstrong took was for his CV system not his muscles).
- Please tell us your chosen drug and explain what it does.
- List if there are any “negative” side effects
- Share at least 1 athlete that was “caught” using this drug (they do not have to be “famous”)
- Lastly, instead of using performance enhancing drugs, explain how athletes can stay at the top of their game. A good topic to focus on is the benefits of muscle endurance training.
