Of course, steroids work, contributing to sports performance, and there is no doubt. In this regard, and we can talk about the useful aspects of steroids use. Of course, it's better not talk about the benefits, because in the end it is questionable, and how steroids work, enhancing your athletic performance.
So, that steroid users say subjective and objective observations show that in practice and in experimental drugs:
1. Rising power rates.
This is because of drugs, increasing protein synthesis in the body, increasing the thickness of myofibrillar elements (actin and myosin), responsible for muscle contraction. Of course, this is achieved only with concomitant heavy training and appropriate protein diet. Some force may be due to increase in increments of tissue leverage because of the increase of cellular fluid (sarcoplasm), and overall water retention. This force is temporary, of course, especially if the athlete to compete releases water, trying to get into the weight category. Some authors point to the decrease in muscle protein cleavage, as a result of heavy training.
2. Increased muscle.
This phenomenon stems from the previous one. The growth of myofibrils and an increase in sarcoplasmic are the main factors responsible for the increase in muscle. Of course, all these changes can occur only when heavy training and appropriate nutrition. Another possible factor that leads to an increase in muscle - the effect of increasing blood volume. It was shown that within two to three weeks after starting therapy anabolic steroids total blood volume increases by 10-20%.
3. Reduce pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis.
This impact has been and is a clinical indication for the use of anabolic drugs in medical practice. This is confirmed by many athletes who used drugs.
4. Reduced percentage of body fat.
This effect is observed, although it is unclear what mechanisms account for this may occur. Some experts attribute this phenomenon to the increased amounts to the release of free fatty acids and their use as an energy source during intense muscular work.
5. Strengthening the respiratory (breathing) rate and endurance.
There is reason to believe that the use of anabolic drugs increased number of mitochondria in muscle cells, thereby cells are an increased ability to utilize oxygen during heavy training, thus increasing endurance and in the end. Perhaps more significant is the fact that increased levels of cortisol (stress hormone) produced by the adrenal glands. Some authors also point to the increasing level of hemoglobin (the main kislorodotraksportny factor), which also increases stamina.
6. Increased vascularity of muscle.
It is believed that some increase in blood pressure that accompanies the use of steroids causes this affect the expansion of the lumen of blood vessels.
This, of course, improves blood flow to working muscles, which is a favorable factor. Psychologically, it feels like the best content of the muscles, and is called steroid-pumped. In addition to obvious cosmetic effect of this pump, it can increase the efficiency of the muscles.
7. Reducing the time from injury or repairing after a training session.
The fact that drugs help to slow down protein synthesis and nitrogen excretion, explains why the observed improved recovery from injuries or operations, and especially from hard training. This, of course, increases the effectiveness of such training. There is a more effective healing of injured ligaments, muscles and bones become less chance of muscle tears or sprains.
8. Increases the ability to perform more intense or more volume training.
This ability is believed to be the result of increasing the body's ability to re-synthesize creatine phosphate (CP). Without sufficient CF muscles are very tired quickly becomes intolerable concentration of lactic acid. There is also a decreasing tendency to over-training, accompanied by increased degradation (catabolism) of muscle tissue.
9. Some favorable psychological effects:
General psychological lift, a strong desire to train and succeed, more aggressive fighting qualities, improves mental activity, the ability to concentrate better, increased tolerance to pain, decreasing ability to tolerate the weak personal effectiveness, increased ability to set and reach goals. These effects are considered necessary for a number of competing athletes.
10. Other related events receive steroids:
rising ability to store muscle glycogen (fuel for weight training), increasing capacity to absorb more food proteins, some increase in heart size, improved muscle reaction time, especially when the occurrence of fatigue. There have also been improved muscle memory, making it easier to return to the previous higher level of athletic performance, strengthening the immune system (only for the period of taking the drugs).
