AAS are now used therapeutically in medicine to stimulate muscle growth and appetite, induce male puberty and treat chronic wasting conditions, such as cancer and AIDS. The American College of Sports Medicine acknowledges that AAS, in the presence of adequate diet, can contribute to increases in body weight, often as lean mass increases and that the gains in muscular strength achieved through high-intensity exercise and proper diet can be additionally increased by the use of AAS in some individuals.

==Subjective effects==

These compounds can be described as conferring a great deal of physical stimulation and [[Stamina enhancement|stamina]], and sometimes mental stimulation.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - The stimulation which AAS present can be considered as subtle, yet persistent and energetic comparable to that of [[caffeine]], yet even less forced in nature.

*'''[[Effect::Perception of bodily lightness]]''' - AAS may have a large effect on increasing overall weight due to water retention. Rather than altering perception, manifests itself in a physical bodily change. The degree of increase is dosage-dependent.
