True or False? About 20% of female high school students have tried smoking at some point.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Might be true...

Peer pressure—their friends encourage them to try cigarettes and to keep smoking. They see smoking as a way of rebelling and showing independence. They think that everyone else is smoking and that they should, too. The tobacco industry has used clever marketing tactics to specifically target teenagers.

Bodybuilders that take anabolic steroids such as androstenedione and testosterone often suffer from gynecomasty (enlarged breast
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Gynaecomastia occurs due to

1) Feedback inhibition of pituitary.

2) Conversion of exogenous androgens into estrogen (aromatization)

Substrate : Androgen

Product : Estradiol ( estrogen )

Enzyme involved : Aromatase

Explanation:

Gynaecomastia is a condition in which the mammary

glands, or breasts, enlarge and become sore and

tender to touch. It is due to the chemical change

in testosterone brought about by a process called

aromatisation, when the male hormone is converted

to a form of estrogen, the female sex hormone.

There is initially a sore feeling in the breast. A

skin ridge appears on the outer side of the areola

together with a halo appearance around the area

but no swelling. As the course continues, a swelling

develops and it becomes tender. Fatty tissue

builds up around the area and the breast becomes

prominent. At times there may be a secretion of

fluid from the nipple when it is squeezed. Steroids

should be stopped. If recovery does not occur by

the end of 2 months, surgery should be considered.

Other causes of gynaecomastia that may need to

be considered are the use of medications such as

Tagamet, a treatment for gastric problems, HCG and

spironolactone. Some body builders use this latter

drug to reduce body fluid. Occasionally boys in the

post-pubertal phase develop breast enlargement due

to endocrine imbalance totally unrelated to steroids.

Gynaecomastia also occurs as a result of feedback inhibition of the pituitary.

Jeremy’s family just moved to Louisiana
ch4aika [34]

Jeremy is going with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which commonly thought to be the cause of muscle cramps. This is most evident factor when training in hot and humid conditions due to an increased loss of electrolytes through sweat.

Exercise associated muscle cramps are mainly treated with hydration and electrolyte supplementation but this could be neglecting the underlying cause of cramps during or after exercise. The most effective way of treating cramps before they affect body athletic performance is neuromuscular re-education.

What is neuromuscular re-education?

Neuromuscular re-education involves training weak, underactive muscles to help balance the work load..

Charle horse is type of a cramp which occurs when the muscle involuntarily contracts and cannot relax. The calves and thighs are two of the most common areas affected, although cramps can strike hands, arms, abdomen, and feet. They typically last from several seconds to a few minutes, and athletic person can often feel a knot when presses the painful area.
