Testosterone – To take or not to take
Many people view golf as a non-physical sport . While it may be less physical , it is prone to more injuries of the repetitive motion type . Sports similar to golf , such as tennis and baseball , are also susceptible to these type of injuries .
Injuries can be long term and often aggravating to play through , so some athletes take substances that allow the body to rejuvenate faster . Testosterone is a booster that allows the rebuilding of tissue growth to occur at a much faster rate , but it may have some serious long term side effects .
When an individual works out , the muscles tear and rebuild throughout every workout . Testosterone rebuilds these muscles faster which allows longer and more productive workouts without as much fatigue . On the flip side , when taking substances that the body naturally creates , the body then produces less of the substance . If someone is taking testosterone alone without working out or doing physical activity , the effect of the testosterone is void .
Soreness and pain are protective measures for the body . When someone is not experiencing these effects , the body can be in severe trouble in the near future . If one is taking these substances , he / she must continue taking the substance to produce enough testosterone for the body to counteract the pain because the body cannot produce it on its own .
Testosterone is very popular among young aspiring athletes trying to keep up with the competition . The astronomical amounts of money that professional athletes are paid entices athletes to take anything to remain
healthy to live up to the contracts . There are also scenarios in which high school athletes are trying to get recognition of college scouts to ascend to the next level in the athletic journey .
Testosterone and other boosters such as HGH are basically time-saving medicines that are dangerous to the body . Many of these substances are banned by the NCAA and professional organizations to ensure fair play among athletes .
Not everyone is trying to compete for a spot on a team , but rather just playing a sport for fun . Injuries are normal , and testosterone or cortisone steroid shots may be the best option , but it also may not be the right one .
Whether it is fighting for a spot on a team , or just trying to play with the boys again , taking additional testosterone and other similar substances could be dangerous to the body if not taken under the close supervision of a doctor .
Consult your physician BEFORE taking testosterone . Protect your health .
