Definition: Ergogenic aids are substances or techniques that can enhance an athlete&#39;s performance.

<ul>
	<li>
	Nutritional Ergogenic Aids

	<ul>
		<li>What are they? These are substances found naturally in the body or can be consumed through a balanced diet.</li>
		<li>Example: Think of foods rich in protein like chicken or nuts. They fuel the body and aid muscle repair, acting as a natural ergogenic aid!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Non-Nutritional Ergogenic Aids

	<ul>
		<li>What are they? They aren&#39;t essential parts of our diet.</li>
		<li>Focus for our notes: This chapter is all about these! They&#39;re the superstars of the sporting world.⭐️</li>
		<li>Example: Imagine a power-up in a video game! They give you a special boost, but you don&#39;t need them to play the game. That&#39;s kinda like non-nutritional ergogenic aids for athletes.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Definition: It&#39;s like body&#39;s construction crew! It builds or creates more of a specific substance/tissue.</li>
	<li>Real-World Example: Think of how a Lego tower grows brick by brick. Similarly, anabolic processes in our body help muscles grow piece by piece.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Definition: They&#39;re substances that help in the process of building up the amount/size of specific substances/tissues.</li>
	<li>Example: Testosterone! It&#39;s like the body&#39;s natural &quot;muscle booster.&quot; It helps men grow beards, develop muscles, and even get taller! Ladies have it too, just less of it.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Good Side (Medical Use)
	<ul>
		<li>They&#39;re used for
		<ul>
			<li>Helping young people grow</li>
			<li>Boosting appetite &amp; muscle mass in patients with illnesses like AIDS or cancer</li>
			<li>Replacing hormones for men with low testosterone</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Dark Side (Misuse in Sports)
	<ul>
		<li>Why athletes love &#39;em
		<ul>
			<li>They bulk up muscle mass. Imagine turning the protein-making machine to maximum!</li>
			<li>They speed up recovery. Think of it as a protective bubble that shields muscles from too much breakdown after exercising.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li>Spoiler Alert 🚨: We&#39;ll talk about the risks and why they&#39;re a no-go in sports later on!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

📝 Note: Always remember, the use of non-nutritional ergogenic aids, especially without medical guidance, can be risky business! While they may promise big gains, the potential side effects can be a game-changer. Stay tuned for more on this topic!
