DRUGSLearning Objectives:
1.Know which drugs athletes take to enhance performance
2.Understand the effects of drugs on the body
3.Understand the effects of drugs on sporting performance
Banned Substances• All performance enhancing drugs are banned by
sporting governing bodies such as the I.O.C
• They can improve performance BUT they can damage the body
Anabolic AgentsMost commonly used in sport
• Inject into blood stream
• Build up muscles – allow you to train longer
BUT
• Cause high blood pressure,
heart disease,
Infertility,
Cancer,
Body and facial hair,
Deeper voice. Example: testosterone
Second most commonly used
• Make reaction time quicker• Increase aggression – feel less pain• Work for longer without getting fatigued
ADDICTIVE!
• Athletes can train too hard – cause injury high blood pressure heart and liver problems
Example: Cocaine, Caffeine
StimulantsSo what
sports would benefit from
them?
• Usually injected• Kills pain
BUT
• Addictive – unpleasant withdrawal symptoms• Can over train• Constipation• Low blood pressure• Death
Example: Heroin, Morphine
Narcotic Analgesics
• Similar effects to steroids – muscle building
• Strokes• Abnormal Growth
Example: EPO (Substance that copies natural hormones of the body)
Peptide Hormones
• Synthetic hormone – copies natural hormones of body• Increases red blood cell count• Stimulates bone marrow to produce more red blood cells,
improving oxygen uptake
BUT - Can lead to stroke heart attack by thickening blood
Erythropoietin (EPO)
• Make you urinate – weight loss• Can mask traces of other drugs
• Cramp• Fatigue• Dehydration
Diuretics
So what sports would benefit from
them?
Completely banned in sports that require a steady hand and calm nerve = archery, snooker
• Block adrenaline• Slow heart rate, breathing rate, B.P• Suppress feelings of anxiety and nervous tension - relaxant
• Side effects - Depression - They can reduce the HR so much that there is a
danger that the heart may stop.
Beta Blockers
Drug Testing• 2 urine samples – A and B• ‘A’ is tested• If positive then ‘B’ is checked
• Refusing test –serious as failing one• Positive tests = ban
TASKCASE STUDY – Group Presentation
Must : Research an athlete who has taken drugs to enhance sporting performance
- What drug did they use?- How did it enhance performance?
Should: Research what happened to them? i.e. side effects/ban
Could: Research that drug in more detail – what are all of the possible effects on the body and how could it improve sporting
performance?
