Chapter 11: performance- enhancing substance and methods Flashcards
Two types of substances talked about in the chapter
hormones
dietary supplemetns
this is the primary example of an anabolic steroid
testosterone
testosterone is this type of hormone
steroid
this are precursors to the synthesis of other hormones and are theorized to increase the body’s ability to produce a given specific hormone
