PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE USE OF DRUGS TO RESTORE THE EFFICIENCY OF ATHLETES AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY

Abstract

Despite the rapid development of sports medicine and many years of experience in the use of pharmacological agents for the basic support of athletes, there are no unified methodological recommendations for drug support of working capacity and improvement of recovery processes. When deciding on the appointment of a particular pharmaceutical preparation to an athlete, it is necessary to clearly understand the purpose for which the active substance will be introduced into the body, and make appointments strictly according to indications. The purpose of this article is to review some practically important features of medical support for the performance of athletes, which must be taken into account, otherwise the work to improve performance may be ineffective, or result in a back reaction of the athlete's body, which can lead to loss of sports results, injuries and diseases.
