本研究的目的是确定堪萨斯州和密苏里州男性和女性健美运动员使用合成代谢类固醇的发生率。为合成代谢类固醇使用者和非使用者建立了档案。这项研究的结果表明，超过一半的男性健美运动员 (54%) 定期使用类固醇，而女性运动员的这一比例为 10%。对所用类固醇的类型进行调查后发现，一年中平均使用四种不同类型的合成代谢类固醇，个人使用的类型从一种到十五种不等；包括 Dianabol、Deca Durabolin、Anavar、睾酮、Androl 50、Winstrol、Primobolan、Equipoise、Finaject、Parabolin、HCG、Primacetate、Enanthate、halotestin 和 Maxibolin（按最常用到最不常用的顺序排列）。女性健美运动员报告说，她们平均使用了两种不同的类固醇，包括 Deca Durabolin、Anavar、睾酮、Dianabol、Equipoise 和 Winstrol。健美运动员使用类固醇的主要原因与他们认为这些药物是赢得比赛的重要因素有关。使用的另一个重要的激励因素与报告一致，即尽管有报道的不良副作用，但通过将合成代谢类固醇作为训练方案的一部分可以显着增强力量。
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of anabolic steroid use among competitive male and female bodybuilders in Kansas and Missouri. A profile was established for users and non-users of anabolic steroids. The results of this study indicated that more than half of the male bodybuilders (54%) were using steroids on a regular basis compared to 10 percent of the female competitors. The types of steroid used were investigated and revealed that on average, four different types of anabolic steroid were used during the year, with individual use ranging from one to fifteen different types; including Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, Anavar, Testosterone, Androl 50, Winstrol, Primobolan, Equipoise, Finaject, Parabolin, HCG, Primacetate, Enanthate, Halotestin, and Maxibolin, in order of the most to least frequently used. The female bodybuilders reported that they had used an average of two different steroids including Deca Durabolin, Anavar, Testosterone, Dianabol, Equipoise, and Winstrol. The principal reason bodybuilders used steroids was related to their perception that these drugs were an important factor in winning competitions. Another important motivating factor for use was consistent with reports that significant gains in strength could be achieved by including anabolic steroids as part of the training regimen in spite of the reported adverse side-effects.
