Question

michael stopped using performance enhancing drugs at the end of his high school athletic career. which long term effects might he experience as he grows older? select three options. increased endurance enlarged heart mood swings muscle weakness liver disease

Explanation:

Performance - enhancing drugs (PEDs) have various long - term effects. An enlarged heart can occur because PEDs can put stress on the cardiovascular system over time. Mood swings may result from the impact of PEDs on hormonal balance, which can have long - term effects on mental health. Liver disease is a possible long - term effect as many PEDs are metabolized by the liver, and prolonged use (even if stopped) can cause damage. Increased endurance is not a long - term negative effect (and PEDs are not meant to give long - term increased endurance after stopping, and in fact, stopping PEDs often leads to decreased performance). Muscle weakness is not a typical long - term effect associated with PED use cessation in the same way as the other three; in fact, PEDs are used to build muscle, and stopping might lead to muscle loss but not "weakness" in the same diagnostic sense as the other conditions, and the three selected options are more characteristic long - term effects of PED use.

Answer:

B. enlarged heart, C. mood swings, E. liver disease
