Ergogenic Support of Athletes
Description
Athletes strive for maximal performance, endurance, strength, and stamina. In the process, they stumble upon barriers minimizing these factors and often face more difficulty in achieving maximal sports potential.
In an effort to augment performance, it is becoming more common for sports participants, to use some form of ergogenic aid. Ergogenic refers to the "work-generating " or "power-generating" potential of the aid. Ergogenic aids comprise a host of substances or treatments improving a person's physiological performance or remove the psychological barriers associated with more intense activity, and can be nutritional, psychological, mechanical, physical, or pharmacological in nature. Many of the pharmacological aids have been banned by official sports bodies because of the unfair advantage some substances give athletes during competition and because of the deleterious side effects that can occur.
