Legal issues
The possession or sale of anabolic steroids without a valid
prescription is illegal. Simple possession of illicitly obtained
anabolic steroids carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison
and a minimum $1,000 fine if a first drug offense.
The maximum penalty for trafficking is 5 years in prison

F (for) Y (your) I (Information)
Results from the 2005 Monitoring the Future Study,
which surveys students in eighth, tenth, and twelfth grades,
show that 1.7% of eighth graders, 2.0% of tenth graders, and
2.6% of twelfth graders reported using steroids at least once in
their lifetimes.(12)
Regarding the ease by which one can obtain steroids,
18.1% of eighth graders, 29.7% of tenth graders, and 39.7% of
twelfth graders surveyed in 2005 reported that steroids were
"fairly easy" or "very easy" to obtain. During 2005 56.8% of
twelfth graders surveyed reported that using steroids was a
"great risk."(13)

Terms to remember
Calories – units of heat that measure the energy used by the
body and the energy that foods supply to the body.
*1Kcal = 4184 joules/ is the amount of energy required to raise
1kg of water 1°C . 1 Kcal = one Calorie
Nutrients – substances in food that your body needs.
*There are 6 essential nutrients for the body.
Water
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats (saturated & unsaturated)
Vitamins
Minerals
Terms to remember
Appetite – psychological desire for food.
*smells, sights, and textures can stimulate this
Nutrition – the process of using foods and substances to help
your body have energy, grow, develop, and work properly.
Hunger – the physical need for food.
*Brain needs about 20 minutes to turn of the ‘hunger signal’
Nutrient Deficiency – Shortage of a nutrient.
*Teens need calcium for bones and teeth development/strength

Your appropriate weight!
Definition: The weight that is best for your body
Contributing Factors:
Gender
Height
Age
Body Frame (S,M, L)
During Teen Years
Growth Pattern
Body Mass Index
BMI (Body Mass Index)- is a measurement
that allows you to assess your body size,
taking your height and weight into account
How To Calculate BMI
To Calculate Your BMI:
1. Multiply your weight in Lbs by 705
2. Divide answer 1 by height in inches
3. Divide answer 2 by height in inches
4. Trace an imaginary line straight up from
your age to the BMI you calculated. The
point where your age and BMI meet tells you
the appropriate weight range you fall into.

Weight Problems
Overweight- more than the appropriate
weight for gender, height, age, body
frame and growth pattern
Causes:
 Eating foods high in fat & calories (fast
food)
 Portion Size
 Sedentary or inactive lifestyle
Being Overweight Can:
 Put strain on heart & lungs
 Increase risk of high blood pressure,
diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and
stroke.
Weight Problems
Underweight- less than the appropriate
weight for gender, height, age, body
frame, and growth pattern
Causes:
 Not consuming enough nutrients
 Extreme dieting and exercise
When Underweight:
 Do not have enough body fat to cushion
the body’s organs and bones
 Feel tired due to insufficient food energy
 More likely to develop disorders related
to low food intake such as anemia
Reaching & Maintaining
A Goal Weight
Facts:
 On average teen females require 2,200
calories per day, and teen males require
3,000
Adjusting Calorie Intake
 To reduce calorie intake, eat smaller servings
 Choose foods that are broiled, baked, or
steamed instead of fried foods
 Add flavor by using herbs and spices instead
of oils or cream sauces.
 Drink fewer soft drinks and more water!
Reaching & Maintaining
A Goal Weight

 Plan your meals and snacks so that you take in
the same number of calories that you burn.
 Watch your portion sizes!

Principles
THR – Target Heart Rate
MHR – 220 minus your age
FITT
Frequency – number of times per week a
person engages in exercise
Intensity – amount of effort invested
Type – cardio vs. muscular & endurance,
strength, or flexibility
Time – length of training
Stay Warm!
Exercise sessions should be preceded by a 5 to
10-minute warm-up and be followed by a 10
minute cool-down.
*Good warm-ups increases extensibility of the
muscles and connective tissue, extends joint
range of motion, and enhances muscular
activity.
Stay Warm!
*Cooling down slowly returns body’s rate to a
resting state. Dissipates heat and lactic acid.
*Poor quality cool downs result in blood
remaining in the active muscles, causing
dizziness and faintness, a drop in blood
pressure, and can cause cardiac abnormalities.
Purpose of exercise
Weight training
Improve muscular strength
Improve hypertrophy
Improve muscular endurance
Repair after injury (rehabilitation)
Cardiovascular Exercise

Improve cardiac output
Decrease cholesterol and improve overall
health and wellness
Flex those muscles
Concentric Contractions
Muscle actively shortening
(raising a weight during bicep curl)
Eccentric Contractions
Muscle actively lengthening
(lowering a weight during bicep curl)
Isometric Contractions
Muscle actively holding at fixed length
(keeping arm raised in class)
