Sports pharmacology and dietetics. Oleinik S.A.

Modern sports science, especially in the sports of higher achievements, requires adequate use of pharmacological and dietary means to increase the physical performance of athletes, accelerate the processes of their adaptation to superintendent physical activity, as well as the prevention of overtraining, borderline health and sports trauma. Many aspects of pharmacological support and correction of sports activities around the world are “carefully protected secret”, which explains the existing deficiency of reliable and objective information. At the same time, a huge variety of pharmacological agents available on the market and biologically active food additives (BAD) necessitates their systematization, identifying the mechanisms of influence and the main points of the application. The provision is complicated by a prerequisite - medications and food supplements used in sports should not contain substances related to the prohibited list of WADA (World Anti -Doping Agency), while ensuring a pronounced effect.

The appointment of this book is to remove the cover of mystery and provide sports doctors, trainers, students, teachers of medical universities and simply interested readers with reliable information on the characteristics of modern pharmacological support for the training process and the basics of rational nutrition of athletes
