Hypothetical Effect Of Performance-Enhancing Drugs And Its Effects On The Body

Hypothetical Experimental Design Now that we understand the background information behind performance-enhancing drugs, we are ready to propose an experiment. An effective experiment would first pose a hypothesis to predict the potency and effects of a certain performance-enhancing drug. Next, a large testing group with participants of equal levels of athleticism would have to be separated into groups and have their athletic abilities measured and their health tested to establish a base. One group would act as the control group, receiving no administration of the drug, while the other groups would be administered varied doses of the drug regularly. Throughout a period of 3-6 months, they subjects would continue a standard training regime

Upon reaching the end of the training regime, they would be examined one last time. Throughout this process, the athletes themselves would record how they feel physically as they are using the drug as part of their training, both before, during, and after their performance. This data would be recorded throughout the experiment. The results of each stage of testing would be arranged on a line graph, each line representing the average performance of each group. Another graph would be created, demonstrating the overall state of health of the athletes. These findings would then be analyzed in conjunction with the recorded feelings of the athletes. A conclusion would be drawn on the effectiveness of the drug as a performance-enhancer along with the effects it has on the overall health of the body. Such an experiment would allow for a drug’s effectiveness in enhancing human ability to be made

However, despite all the threats that steroids present, they continue to stick around because of their ability to create mass muscle growth quickly. The idea of being able to “Get Big Quick!” is a powerful motivation to take these drugs for many diehard athletes, bodybuilders, or anyone looking for a speedy change to their body. The use of steroids is starting at a younger age and being used by more and more people across the board. Aside from being harmful, they are simply unethical. Using AAS is one of the easiest ways to cheat in an athletic contest, and for that reason, they have been banned by almost all athletic associations. Regardless of this, athletes continue to use them copiously. Oftentimes, they are caught and have to suffer the consequences of their decisions. It is important to recognize, however, that when these drugs are prescribed to treat certain diseases, they can work miracles. Nonetheless, there is a fine line between help and hurt when it comes to using anabolic-androgenic steroids. While AAS may seem like a way to get a quick and preferable change to someone’s body, it is in fact doing way more harm than hurt to the internal processes of the body. Overall, the effects can be horrible for a
