Question 19 • FL-3026010-HOPE-Physical Education (Core) Sem 1 - Flex

Weight lifters often use supplements and drugs to enhance their appearance or performance. In which scenario is the weight lifter placing himself or herself at the greatest risk for harm?

Answer
A
An overweight high school football player is using caffeine to combat fatigue during his workouts.
B
A thin high school lacrosse player is using creatine to improve performance on the field.
C
A healthy high school wrestler is using anabolic steroids to build muscle mass.
D
A normal high school student is using one daily protein supplement to build muscle.

Explanation

Anabolic steroids can cause serious harm, including heart and liver problems, hormonal changes, and impaired growth in adolescents. Using them to build muscle puts the healthy high school wrestler at greater risk than the other listed supplements, which also may have risks but are generally less dangerous when used appropriately. The best answer is C, the wrestler using anabolic steroids.
