HGH (Human Growth Hormone) has been an increasingly popular substance in the world of athletics. Many athletes feel that using HGH can improve their athletic performance, much like the use of Steroids a decade before. A new study on the effect of HGH on athletes may cause some athletes to forget about using HGH.
Many athletes who take human growth hormone notice right away the increase in their lean body mass, but other than that HGH does little else to help athletes with their performance and stamina.
This information comes at an interesting time when many professional athletes are being accused of using HGH in their athletic careers, causing major controversies in the world of sports. The reports from congress exposing these athletes have caused an uproar in major league sports because it was thought that HGH was being used a performance enhancing drug. Because of this new information, the controversy about performance enhancing drugs might have a twist.
Although this needs to be studied further, preliminary information suggests that HGH is useless to athletes because is does not increase stamina or
Exercise capacity. It would be difficult to study the use of HGH in athletes rather than a controlled study because many athletes are involved in stacking, or using a combination of substances along with HGH.
Because of this, there is a call for further research of HGH in athletes. Most people find that HGH is better in use with its anti-aging benefits rather than performance enhancement. Although anti-aging is another reason people use HGH, there is little benefit to people who are aging or healthy. Doctors agree that without further research on this aspect, the risks outweigh the benefits for using HGH as an anti-aging treatment. Once more studies are complete, doctors will have a better picture of the use of HGH in healthy adults.
