Viagra is, of course, designed to boost anybody’s performance in a specific area. But, it’s been shown to have other uses. In fact, it was originally being tested as a heart medication, and is in fact used as one in certain applications. But what about athletic performance? Can Viagra really make you play a better game of baseball, or does it just put unnecessary strain on your jockstrap?
The truth is…the jury is still out. Despite substantial testing, and a possible scientific basis, no real decisions one or the other are really possible. But first, it’s important to understand how Viagra works. It’s a vasodilator, that is, it expands the blood vessels to increase blood flow. This is why Viagra can have side effects like swelling of the limbs: it opens up blood vessels in your entire body. In theory, this means your exercise capacity, that is, your ability to run around playing, is increased.
In practice, it’s not so simple. Viagra only lasts for four hours, so any effect it offers is only temporary. While increased blood flow may bring more oxygen to the muscles, there’s no evidence that Viagra does so or that, if it does, how much effect it has on the field.
There is one area where Viagra definitely helps the performance of a certain class of athlete: namely, mountain climbers. Mountain climbers and other athletes at high altitudes often face the problem of pulmonary arterial hypertension, or pressure on the main artery delivering blood to the lungs. As this artery constricts, you receive less oxygen than normal and experience problems such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting, all of which are less than ideal when you’re hanging off a three-hundred foot drop miles from any assistance. Although Viagra is only a short term solution, it’s useful in high altitude situations and is often part of a climber’s gear as a medical necessity. There has, alas, been no data on how many climbers have joined the “mile-high without an airplane” club.
But the truth is, not many athletes really face altitude conditions so extreme that Viagra could be of any scientific help. It may be useful to cyclists or marathon runners at extremely high altitudes, but most athletes perform in areas well below the two or three miles of altitude it takes to generally induce lung problems and make it a factor.
On the other hand, never underestimate the power of the placebo effect. If a person thinks a drug is working, the mind can often take over and give the drug an effect, even if it’s not scientifically possible. In this respect, Viagra is like a baseball player’s lucky socks he never washes or a football player’s pre-game ritual: it’s not the physical effect, it’s the psychological one.
In that respect, as long as the athlete believes Viagra is really helping, it might as well be the greatest drug ever designed. Unfortunately, it’s also a risky one; Viagra has side effects, like any prescription drug, and shouldn’t be taken without a doctor’s consultation. Still, it sure beats not washing your socks, although we’re not sure what’s more awkward: the smell of rancid feet, or standing around the dugout with Viagra’s intended effect front and center. We suppose it’s up to the athlete to decide.
