Question

(9/30/25) formative assessment assignment: chapter 6 the muscular system part_4 (suggested p.. 12 of 13
steroid use is not limited to the united states. in 2015, 11 bulgarian weight lifters tested positive for anabolic (1 ) use prior to the european championships; clearly this is a widespread problem that even affects adolescents. studies by the national institute on drug abuse (nida), national institutes of health (nih), and the centers for disease control (cdc) over a 20 -year period estimated that 1.5 - 6% of (2 ) 14 - 18 years old have used steroids.
although most international athletic competitions and leagues have banned anabolic steroids, some athletes still claim they increase (3. ) mass, strength, and oxygen - carrying capacity of the blood. but do the drugs do all that is claimed? research studies have reported increases in isometric (4. ) and body weight in steroid users. although these are results weight lifters dream about, there is hot dispute over whether the drugs also enhance fine muscle (5. ) and endurance (which are important to runners and other athletes)
