Ergogenic Aids
 |
Ergogenic aids are any external influences that can be determined to influence performance. Whislt some of these ergogenic aids are acceptable methods of maximising performance, others aren't and any person found using them can be disqualified and banned from sporting competition. Undesirable side-effects can occur and the implications for long term health problems differ depending on the aid. However ergogenic aids are not a substitute for a healthy, balanced diet, regular training and adequate rest.
The six ergogenic aids are: - anabolic steroids - growth hormone - creatine - blood doping - caffiene - erythropoietin |
