1A SHORT ABSTRACT AND A PROJECT OUTLINEAbstract Among all the drugs, anabolic steroids (AS) are widely used that are purported toimprove performance in sports. In the recent times, high-dose AS are associated with seriouscardiovascular consequences like endothelial dysfunction and concentric left ventricularhypertrophy, however, the fact remains controversial. The negative effect of AS oncardiovascular system is poorly understood in humans. The possibilities are direct effects onendothelial cells and myocytes with reduction in intracellular Ca+ levels, increased apoptogenicfactors release and increase in collagen crosslink between the myocytes (Angell et al. 2012).Novel technologies are required to study AS link to cardiovascular health consequences so thatthere is accurate and clear health message regarding AS use for performance enhancement. Project outline Introduction Long-term steroid use has permanent impact on cardiovascular health. AS are used todelay puberty, however it is used to increase muscle strength and size having negative healtheffects. Non- therapeutic use of AS has been associated with adverse health effects like directcardiovascular effects are warranted. A cohort study conducted by Thiblin et al. (2015) showedthat, AS exposure is associated with severe consequences and an independent risk factor topremature death and cardiovascular morbidity. Therefore, the project will focus on thecardiovascular risk associated with long-term AS use in sportsperson for improving performance.

2A SHORT ABSTRACT AND A PROJECT OUTLINESearch Strategy Literature review will be conducted for the project that would be helpful in gaining aninsight into effects of AS on cardiovascular health. This research method will be useful infulfilling the aim of the project so that one reaches to a conclusion that matches project aims.This design sought to investigate the available literature that would be helpful in understandingthe mechanism of AS in performance enhancement and consequences of long-tem use on cardiachealth. Research design Qualitative research method is appropriate for the current project as it is exploratory innature bringing together the relevant literature that aligns with the project aim. This method isbeneficial as the responses explored during systematic literature review would be helpful inanalysing the long-term negative effects of AS by further categorizing the findings into themesaligning with the aim of the project. Research strategy Secondary research and systematic literature review will be employed in the project thatcomprises of vast pool of existing literature on AS use and its effects on heart health. Data collection and analysis The information is gathered in a systematic fashion that is based on variables of interestenabling to answer the project aim and evaluate search outcomes. In the current project, reviewwill clearly address the aim and explicit methods like publications can help in providing updatedinformation on AS use and its effects on human body.
