Staying active reduces health risks for retired athletes and footballers! Medical Sciences have once again brought some good news for the athletes. A detailed study carried out on some retired players of the National Football League (NFL) have revealed that the players who comparatively had a more active life style are less likely to fall prey to diabetes, hypertension, sedentary lifestyles and metabolic syndrome.

Experiments were carried out by treating patients with intranasal corticosteroids and it was found out that out of every 100 administered patients, 7 patients were found to have marked symptom relief. This formed 73 percent of people as compared to 66.4 percent who received the placebo. It was also found out those stronger doses of steroids actually helped in the same.

From News-Medical.Net:

Overall, 73 percent of the patients treated with nasal steroids experienced relief or marked improvement of symptoms during the study period, compared with only 66.4 percent of patients who received the placebo.

“For every 100 patients treated with intranasal corticosteroids, seven additional patients had complete or marked symptom relief,” compared to those in the placebo group, the reviewers found.

Stronger doses of nasal steroids appeared to work better. Patients receiving daily doses of 400 micrograms were more likely to experience relief of sinusitis symptoms, than were patients receiving 200-microgram doses.

Although there is not enough evidence to suggest that nasal steroids can stand alone for acute sinusitis treatment, “the results of these studies and reviews support the current clinical rationale of adding an intranasal corticosteroid to antibiotic therapy,” reviewers say.

However, the research clearly showed that the study was based on retired players from an entirely different era. Football players of today’s times are about 50 percent larger in their built than a quarter of a century ago. Levine, the Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UT Southwestern asserted that, Today, there is a lot of incentive for football players and athletes to get as big as possible through eating, extensive training or by using anabolic steroids and other artificial growth hormones. The new criterion for success in present times is the bigger the better. But one should always keep into account the negative repercussions of consuming excessive anabolic steroids. However, when taken in prescribed quantities, they are not harmful.
