Abstract des Autors
The quest for athletic perfection continues to promote the production of so-called ergogenic aids. This article reviews some of the most popular compounds, their benefits and pitfalls, and cautions against accepting the often unproven claims made by the producers of such supplements. It is stressed that insufficient testing and yet unknown long-term effects are of major concern. The author points out that although certain legal supplements may actually be of added benefit to some athletes, true athletic success continues to stem primarily from genetic endowment, hard work, dedicated training, and proper nutrition.
