Description
The problem of drug misuse is one that has concerned governing bodies in sport since the 1960s. The use of drugs for ergogenic purposes becomes an issue of public concern. The symposium on which this work is based provided a forum for the collation of scientific evidence about the links between drugs and exercise. These proceedings describe the biological context in which drugs have an ergogenic or ergolytic consequence, the interactions between drugs and training effects, and the risks to health of chronic drug use.
