legal methods to enhance the musculoskeletal system
resistance training
core training
flexibility training
protein supplementation
Resistance Training Tailor program based on goals:
Strength, Power, Endurance
Strength: Heavy weights, low reps.
Power: Moderate weights, explosive reps.
Endurance: Light weights, high reps.
benefits of core training
improves stability, posture and balance reduces injury risk.
what is flexibility training
stretching exercises to improve range of motion
benefits of flexibility training
reduces injury risk, improves movement efficiency
benefits of protein supplementation
supports muscle growth, repair, and recovery after exercise.
why do athletes turn to illegal methods
pressure to win,
ehnance performance,
recover faster.
what is WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency)

WADA how doe a substance become prohibited?
if it harms health, enhances performance, or goes against the spirit of the sport.

- anabolic steroids
-human growth hormone
what is anabolic steroids
synthetic substance mimicking testosterone
benefits of anabolic steroids
increase muscle mass and strength
harms of anabolic steroids
liver damage, mood swings, hormonal imbalance
what is human growth hormone HGH
hormone that promotes growth and cell repair
benefits of Human growth Hormone
increases muscle mass, speeds recovery
harms of human growth hormone
joint pain, muscle weakness and risk of heart disease
legal methods that enhance the cardiorespiratory system
altitude training
hypoxic training
what is altitude training
training at high altitudes where oxygen levels are lower
benefits of altitude training
boosts red blood cell production and oxygen capacity
side effects of altitude training
fatigue, altitude sickness
what is hypoxic training
living at high altitude, training at low altitude
benefits of hypoxic training
gains benefits of altitude training while maintaining workout quality
what are illegal methods to enhance the cardiorespiratory system
EPO - erythropoietin
blood doping
beta blockers
what is EPO - erythropoietin
hormone that stimulates red blood cell production
