  4. We will also talk about “PAES” Performance Appearance Enhancing Substances

  5. Types of PAES • Legal substances: • - supplements (e.g. vitamins, proteins, minerals…); • - over the counter drugs. Illegal (doping) substances: substancesthatareprohibitedby a sportgoverningbody (e.g. anabolicsteroids, growthhormones, EPO, stimulants….).

  6. Think about advertising:How is the human body used and portrayed? We would like to know your opinions and views about this We have prepared an activity that you can complete individually (Activity 1)

  7. We are talking about this…

  8. 1st Activity: What do think about these statements? How truthful are they for you? • Product advertising shows real bodies than can be found on the street at any time; • The body shapes one can see in product advertising are the result of good training, good nutrition and careful and safe use of PAES; • The body shapes one can see in product advertising are not real; • The body shapes one can see in product advertising are part of the media production efforts and nothing else; • The body shapes one can see in product advertising can be achieved by those who regularly take PAES substances.

  12. So what can we say about the use of human body in advertising? • Product advertising uses human bodies to make one think that products are good and/or healthy • The bodies one sees may be far from reality • Product advertising uses scenic tricks, photo editing and other means to reach its goals • Product advertising could make different choices and be different!!

  13. What can we do about these issues?

  14. 2nd Activity Make small groups of 4-5 people and: • Assign to each group a target PRODUCT; • Ask each group to discuss and propose an ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN; • Each group shares its work with the rest of the participants.
