Cards in this deck (33)
- 1Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Percieved brenefitsincreased RBC volume, Haemoglobin volume and concentration and capillarisation, increased HGH production
- 2Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Potential harmsreduced stroke volume & cardiac output, increased blood viscosity, decreased VO2 max
- 3Altitude training (live high:train low, Hypoxic tents, IHT) Common SportsEndurance events
- 4Creatine supplementation Common Sportsrepeated short,max efforts: short interval training: high intensity resistance training
- 5Creatine supplementation Perceived Benefitsenhanced performance for events involving repeated sprints, separated by short recovery intervals.
- 6Creatine supplementation Potential harmsgastrointestinal upset, tendon injury, headaches, kidney problems, muscle cramps, fluid retention
- 7Blood doping Common sportsEndurance events
- 8Blood doping Perceived benefitsIncreased number of red blood cells, increased oxygen carrying capacity & VO2 max
- 9Blood doping Potential harmsContraction of blood-borne viruses (hep B, AIDS), blood clots, heart failure, stroke, death
- 10Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Common sportsAll Sports
- 11Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Perceived benefitsProvides the greatest opportunity to improve an athletes suitability to a certain sport, improved training, recovery and performance
- 12Gene doping (prohibited by WADA in 2005) Potential harmsPotential harms are still unknown as this method has not been developed yet
- 13Steroids Common sportsSports requiring Muscular Strength and Power
- 14Steroids Perceived benefitsIncreased muscle bulk, power, strength, aggression, increased speed of recovery which allows longer/harder training
- 15Steroids Potential harmsDependence, depression, hypertension, cancer, sudden death, salt & water retention, testicular atrophy, male breast enlargement, facial hair, infertility, increased masculinity, higher LDL cholesterol
- 16Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Common SportsSports which rely on muscular strength & power
- 17Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Perceived benefitsEnhanced muscle and bone development, anti-inflammatory effect, mask the use of Steroids, give a feeling of euphoria
- 18Human Growth & Polypeptide hormones Potential harmsSodium and water retention, decreased immune function, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, cancer, impotence
- 19EPO Common SportsEndurance events
- 20EPO Perceived benefitsIncreased number of red blood cells, increased oxygen carrying capacity & VO2 max
- 21EPO Potential HarmsBlood clotting, stroke, hypertension, heart failure, stroke
- 22Masking agents Common sportsAll sports
- 23Masking agents Perceived benefitsCan mask the use of other methods/substances by: promoting urination, block excretion of anabolic agents, alter RBC parameters, correct altered testosterone ratios
- 24Masking agents Potential harmsDehydration, cramp, cardiac arrhythmia, kidney stones, acute arthritis, hair loss, nausea, skin rash, fever
- 25Diuretics Common sportsBoxing & Weightlifting
- 26Diuretics Perceived benefitsMask use of Steroids, reduce body weight quickly
- 27Diuretics Potential harmsDehydration, cramps, muscle strains, cardiac arrhythmia
- 28Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Common sportsAthletics, swimming, weightlifting, cycling
- 29Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Perceived benefitsMask fatigue, increase alertness & aggression, improve muscle reaction, improved anaerobic performance
- 30Stimulants (cocaine, caffeine, amphetamines) Potential harmsAnxiety, restlessness, tremors, irritability, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach upsets, dependence, heart attack
- 31Beta-blockers Common sportsShooting & Archery
- 32Beta-blockers Perceived benefitsReduced Heart Rate, tension and tremors, increased relaxation and AVO2 Diff
- 33Beta-blockers Potential harmsDangerous for asthmatics, heart failure, hypotension, hypoglycemia, impotence
