Quite possibly: Steroids cause deterioration of muscle bone and cartilage. There are likely to be effects on endurance also

Why are you taking i: If the reason you are taking it is for asthma or a skin condition it may just increase your appetite and allow you to participate without worsening allergies. Discuss the prescription in detail with your doctor as there are many side effects if you are taking it long term as opposed to just a few days or a couple of weeks.
