Ergogenic substances and drive for muscularity among gym users at different risk levels for muscle dysmorphia

Abstract

Many studies have investigated the association between ergogenic substance use and symptoms of eating disorders, but not with the muscle dysmorphia risk level. In this research, the practice of exercise, the use of anabolic steroids and nutrition supplements, among gym users at different risk levels for muscle dysmorphia, as well as the reasons for use were analyzed.

Muchos estudios han investigado la relación entre el consumo de sustancias ergogénicas y síntomas de trastornos alimentarios, pero no con el nivel de riesgo de dismorfia muscular.
