Recent surveys indicate that the use of androgenic-anabolic steroids (anabolic steroids) is prevalent among adolescent athletes, particularly those in high school. The cost of clinical drug testing makes it impractical to use random testing to identify users of these ergogenic aids. The athletic trainer is often in a position to identify anabolic steroid users if he/she knows the clinical signs and symptoms. In this article, we briefly discuss the history of anabolic steroid use, how they work, their potentially dangerous side effects, evidence of increased use by adolescent athletes, and a list of clinical signs and symptoms. Finally, we suggest strategies that may help athletic trainers counsel athletes about anabolic steroid use.
最近的调查表明,雄激素和合成代谢类固醇(合成代谢类固醇)在青少年运动员中很普遍,特别是在高中的运动员中。由于临床药物检测的费用较高,因此采用随机检测来识别这些运动辅助药物的使用者是不切实际的。如果运动训练师了解临床体征和症状,他/她通常能够识别出合成代谢类固醇的使用者。在本文中,我们简要讨论了合成代谢类固醇使用的历史、它们的作用方式、它们可能产生的危险副作用、青少年运动员使用增加的证据,以及列出了一些临床体征和症状。最后,我们提出了一些策略,这些策略可能有助于运动训练师就合成代谢类固醇的使用向运动员提供咨询。
