The many benefits of anabolizantes

Posted by jennycooper on February 23rd, 2014

Scandals involving anabolizantes use by sports figures are frequent - athletes appear willing to risk their health, employment, and freedom to gain an "edge" on the competition. Such risk is not surprising given the large financial rewards often involved. The use of performance-enhancing drugs is typically covert, thus well-done research showing the effects of anabolizantes on athletes is rare. Yet testosterone treatment increases muscle strength, body size and healing rate. These benefits, however, are associated with many short-term and long-term risks. So, before you decide to use anabolizantes to get ahead in the culturismo you have to do your homework first.

It is widely known, both scientifically and anecdotally, that anabolizantes use increases muscle strength. A recent study by Rogerston and colleagues, from 2007, nicely illustrates this effect of performance-enhancing drugs. These authors showed that testosterone enanthate, the most commonly used form of testosterone, increased bench press strength and cycling performance in healthy subjects relative to placebo. Previous research had shown that such effects were typically obtained in 6 to 12 weeks of treatment, yet these researchers demonstrated significant effects within 3 weeks. These surprising results show that anabolizantes use can quickly increase muscle strength, which in the culturismo world is a must.

The Rogerston and associates study also showed that anabolizantes use increased body size. Actually, a large amount of research supports that finding. A well-done experiment by Giorgi and partners, from 2009, typifies such studies. The latter authors tested the effects of testosterone enanthate in healthy weight trainers. Testosterone significantly increased body weight, bicep girth and quadricep circumference. This study also revealed a increase in abdomen "tightness". However, that finding is unusual as most studies do not indicate a fat-reducing effect of anabolizantes use. Being in competitive culturismo, this is actually the dream for many bodybuilders who already see themselves winning all the competitions.

Another documented effect of anabolizantes is their positive impact on the healing rate. The recent anabolizantes scandals involving professional athletes contained repeated references to the use of performance-enhancing drugs for hastening recovery. Unfortunately, few studies testing these effects in healthy individuals are available. There is, however, a nice collection of anabolizantes data in "trauma" subjects including people who have experienced burns and injuries. A recent study by Miller and Btaiche, from 2009, for example, showed that oxandrolone (a synthetic derivative of testosterone) improved lean body mass, increased muscle strength, and restored body weight in patients with severe thermal injuries.

In the culturismo world, and not only, is already known that the use of anabolizantes leads to dramatic, smooth and nearly permanent increases in terms of muscle mass, size, and function. But, don't get fooled and before you start a workout regime of any type, make sure you check with your local authorities and a doctor.
