Question

select the correct answer.
how do anabolic steroids make a person prone to injuries?
the extra muscle development makes it difficult to stretch fully before and after exercise.
they introduce toxins to the muscle tissue, resulting in muscles that are easily injured.
they strengthen muscles but not ligaments or tendons, weakening the muscle support system.

Explanation:

Anabolic steroids increase muscle mass rapidly. However, ligaments and tendons (which support muscles) do not strengthen at the same rate. This imbalance weakens the overall muscle - support system, making the body more prone to injuries.

• The first option about stretching is not the main mechanism related to injury proneness from anabolic steroids.
• Anabolic steroids do not introduce toxins to muscle tissue in the way described in the second option.

Answer:

They strengthen muscles but not ligaments or tendons, weakening the muscle support system.
