“…Self-identified SO was assessed using a simple categorical measure (“How do you describe yourself”) with the following response options: (1) “heterosexual/straight”, (2) “gay man”, (3) “lesbian/gay woman”, (4) “bisexual”, (5) “other”, (6) “not sure” and (7) “prefer not to say”. This measure was adapted from different studies (Burgess et al, 2007; FRA, 2014; Parent and Bradstreet, 2018; Symons et al, 2010).…”

There is broad academic consensus that LGBT+ individuals have been marginalised in both sporting culture and in the academic literature. While the majority of academic research is conducted in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, the present research is the first to provide a comprehensive picture of the situation and experiences of LGBT+ individuals in sport in Europe based on a quantitative online survey with LGBT+ respondents over 16 years old ( N = 5524). Against the background of a multilevel model for understanding the experiences of LGBT+ individuals and the minority stress model, this article focuses on two questions: firstly, if, and to what extent, LGBT+ individuals witness or experience homo-/transnegative episodes in sport and, secondly, whether they refrain from participating in sport and/or feel excluded from specific sports due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The analysis takes into account diverse intersections of sexual orientation and gender identities within the umbrella of LGBT+ and different sport contexts that reflect the broad scope of sport cultures. Data reveal that non-cisgender persons make up the most vulnerable group within the umbrella of LGBT+ and that there is an inverse relation of distal/proximal stressors with regard to experiences of homophobic language in different sport contexts.

“…1 The use of AAS is a public health concern for adolescent boys who have suffered bullying by being labeled gay/bisexual. 2 The doses taken by these users are usually 10 to 100 times higher than the therapeutic ones, bringing forth hyperandrogenism. Although these doses promote increased strength and muscle development, they concomitantly develop hormonal disorders that lead to a variety of harmful consequences.…”

Effects of Supraphysiological Doses of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids on the Left Ventricles of Male and Female Mice Submitted to Swimming

et al. 2019

The use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) has grown into a worldwide substance abuse problem over the last decades, with the doses taken by illegal users being 10 to 100 times higher than the therapeutic ones. In the present experiment, 60 mice were divided into 3 groups of 20 animals. Group 1 received testosterone cypionate (Deposteron [EMS, São Bernardo do Campo, SP, Brazil]); group 2 received stanozolol (Stanozolol Depot, Landerlan, Lambaré, Paraguay), and group 3 received saline solution), each one composed by 10 males and 10 females, treated once a week and put to swimming thrice a week for 2 months. After euthanasia, their chests were opened, the hearts removed and processed histologically for morphometric analyses. The specimens were cut into 6 different sections and each one was measured with the help of an optical microscope with a 40-fold magnification. For such analyses, the Axiovision Rel. 4.8.2 (Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC, Peabody, MA, USA) and Axiovision 4 Module Interactive Measurement (Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC) software were used. The results showed that there was an increase in the diameter of the left ventricles in the male mice treated with Deposteron while in the female animals treated with Winstrol, there was a decrease in the left ventricular diameter in relation to the other two groups. Thus, one can conclude that the use of supraphysiological doses of the given AAS significantly alters the ventricular diameter in both male and female animals, which can cause a considerable change in both heart rate and blood pressure, and potentially induce disorders that are very relevant to the organism.

“…Estudios previos han evidenciado que la orientación sexual juega un rol importante en el consumo de EAA, ya que las minorías sexuales presentan prevalencias entre 5 a 24% aproximadamente (8,(14)(15)(16). El uso de EAA también se ha encontrado asociado a conductas sexuales de riesgo.…”

“…Por otro lado, no hemos encontrado estudios que evalúen esta asociación en Latinoamérica ni en países en vías de desarrollo. Debido a las variaciones contextuales a las que puede estar sujeta esta asociación (8,(14)(15)(16), evaluar esta asociación en países en desarrollo podría ser de utilidad para el desarrollo de estrategias de abordaje para esta minoría social. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la asociación entre la orientación sexual y el uso de EAA sin prescripción médica en jóvenes varones entre 18 y 30 años de Latinoamérica.…”
