Quality Life Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı, who gives advice on steroid drugs used to build muscle, stated, "Those who try to increase muscle mass by taking steroids should be careful since steroids can cause a heart attack by occluding the arteries leading to the heart."
MEDICINES USED TO BUILD MUSCLE OCCLUDE THE ARTERY BLOOD VESSELS LEADING TO THE HEART
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı, head of the Department of Exercise and Sports Sciences at Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) School of Physical Education and Sports, indicated the following:
“Muscles built with anabolic steroids are just muscle mass devoid of strength. When lifting weights, the muscles are overloaded, which can lead to micro tears in the muscle fibers. Lifting heavy weights and performing short sets of low repetitions are required to improve muscular development and strength. Such workouts drive the body to adapt while providing the best micro-tearing for building strength. Some athletes take too many steroids unconsciously to build muscle and mend these microtears. With the help of natural methods and rest, muscle fibers can be restored in 48 hours. Steroid use results in the formation of a muscle mass that lacks strength. However, steroids narrow the arteries that flow to the heart. It may result in a heart attack if the proper precautions are not taken.
Steroid, which causes hardening of the heart vessels and can form a plate on the vessel walls, can also cause a stroke by entering one of the smaller vessels if it causes one of these plates to rupture.

The amount of calories that an athlete should take while training and the amount of calories that s/he should take after stop doing the sport are different. After stopping sport and adopting a sedentary lifestyle, athletes who continue to eat at the same rate have the issue of excessive weight gain. Quality Life Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı made suggestions for a healthier sports adventure and to prevent weight gain after quitting sports.
