Article Synopsis
- A survey conducted in 100 gyms in Curitiba involving 5773 individuals aimed to assess the use of anabolic steroids (AS) among resistance trainers.
- The results showed that 83.2% of respondents did not use AS, while 16.9% of men and 6.5% of women had either used or intended to use them, with male users significantly outnumbering female users.
- The findings suggest that a gym's environment fosters AS use for aesthetic reasons, highlighting the need for preventive measures targeting younger, university-educated, and single gym-goers who train longer.
