Pek çok atlet performansını geliştirmede ilaçların etkili olduğuğnu düşünür (59), ancak bazı atletler bunun yerine beyinlerine minettar kalmayı isteyebilir (62).

enerji ve sprint kapasitesini ölçen dört zindelik testinde gelişme gösterdi (60) (61). 2011 haziran ayındaki Endokrinoloji derneği toplantısında sunulan başlangıç sonuçlarına göre, placebo aldığını doğru tahmin eden katılımcılar gelişme göstermemiştir. Çalışmayı yürüten , Avustralya Sidney Garvan Enstitüsünde endokrinolog

Women in today’s society are influenced by advertisements. These influences could be from being the perfect size four in pants, to a type of fragrance, to a type of cigarette they choose to smoke. This is usually how women are portrayed in most ads. Because of this portrayal, women often become obsessed with becoming the same person they see on television, billboards, and in magazines. In some cases, this becomes a health hazard. Women are “tricked” into thinking that they are obese, not thin enough, not curvy enough, or just not as beautiful as the models in the ads. Having the “perfect” body is often associated with the emaciated supermodel Kate Moss. Moss first started to model on billboards and magazines about four years ago for the popular clothes designer Calvin Klein. When women look at this frail, 105-pound body, they begin to daydream about being this thin. In a study conducted in 1996, 60 percent of sixth graders admitted to dieting at one point. The author of a well-known book “For Real: The Uncensored Truth About America’s Teenagers,” comments that body perception is a “huge, huge, huge problem” for girls.
