HGH stimulates the body's synthesis of proteins that form bone and muscle tissue. Excessive injections of HGH can promote muscle growth and strength, and improve athletic performance. HGH is considered a banned substance within sport, with this article addressing all components of the drugs and how it is identified within athletes.]]> 2018-08-15 10:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273222994 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273223666 Ananbolic (androgenic) steroids are synthetic substances derived from testosterone, the male growth hormone. Steroids promote muscle building increasing lean muscle mass, strength and endurance therefore improving overall athletic performance but modify body composition with dangerous side effects]]> 2018-08-15 10:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273223666 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273226737 Erythropoietin (EPO) is the most commonly used banned substance for improving aerobic performance. EPO stimulates bone to produce more red blood cells, increasing the supply of oxygenated blood to the body. Improving oxygen uptake and athletic performance. Using EPO to enhance performance is considered blood doping.

The most popular masking substance is the use of diuretics. This video explains the use of masking substances. ]]> 2018-08-15 11:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273227789 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273407508 Blood transfusions are a method of blood doping which increases the capacity of oxygenated blood in order to boost aerobic performance. This is explored through the EPO video and is accomplished by withdrawing an athletes blood, isolating the oxygen-carrying blood cells and re-infusing them before a competition. This increased amount of oxygen-carrying cells increases the blood’s supply of oxygen, boosting aerobic endurance and performance.]]> 2018-08-16 04:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273407508 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273408810 Diuretics are masking agents that increase the amount of urine produced by the body to control body weight and dilute urine to mask illicit substances.

Alcohol is only banned from a select amount of sport s during competition such as karate and motorcycling. Alcohol can have a significantly negative short-term and long-term effect on both the athletes health and performance. ]]> 2018-08-16 04:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273410302 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411488 2018-08-16 05:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411488 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411631 2018-08-16 05:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411631 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411756 2018-08-16 05:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273411756 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273412062 The use of performance enhancing drugs within sport is constantly developing, which result in effective drug testing programs being hard to maintain and develop. PED's are usually produced in secret and are specifically designed to avoid detection by current testing methods. Some PED's are harder to detect than others, with some not staying in the blood for long. WADA (world anti-doping agency) provides a video explaining the process of drug testing, with the benefits and limitations. ]]> 2018-08-16 05:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273412062 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273412731 2018-08-16 05:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273412731 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413375 2018-08-16 05:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413375 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413529 2018-08-16 05:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413529 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413782 2018-08-16 05:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273413782 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273414170 This article explores the impact of PED's on the athlete and the impact of the fairness of sport. The article also address the idea of 'fair and equal play'. ]]> 2018-08-16 05:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273414170 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273414701 This video highlights all the components of PED's addressing WADA's purpose and structure.]]> 2018-08-16 05:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273414701 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273622243 This article explores the positives and negative's pf drug testing among elite athletes. ]]> 2018-08-17 00:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273622243 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273622645 2018-08-17 00:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273622645 gabby_virtue https://padlet.com/gabby_virtue/fk2xzdjwlbno/wish/273623500 This page explores the common consequences athletes face when caught doping.
