Find out the problems and controversies of sports pharmacology and dietetics. The information received will help to avoid mistakes that 90% of athletes make. The content of the article:
- Features of use
- What should be changed
It must be said right away that sports pharmacology and dietetics are now developing quite rapidly, although pharmacology for athletes does not officially exist. There is no such discipline in any educational institution. The reason for this is well understood. After all, if you start teaching sports pharmacology, write textbooks, then it will be clear to everyone that doping does not exist.
Features of the use of drugs in sports
Athletes use drugs that allow them to survive under high stress. What the body drinks during intensive training is unnatural for it. In the human body, there are no genes, thanks to which it is possible to build up a huge mass of muscle tissue; people do not have a predisposition to develop high endurance, speed, etc.
Now we are talking about professional sports, and all the achievements gained by athletes are unnatural. This should be well understood. Without the use of appropriate pharmacological drugs, people will not be able to achieve high results, since the body of each person has a genetically established border.
Now sports pharmacology and dietetics are left at the mercy of sports doctors. It should be noted that they represent the least enlightened part of the entire medical community, but logically everything should be exactly the opposite. Most likely this is a matter of natural selection. Doctors who practice in clinics are responsible for the lives of people, and one can recall more than one case of scandal that arose due to the death of a patient.
It is much easier for sports doctors in this regard. Such a burden of responsibility does not hang over them, since they have to work with healthy people. This is how natural selection happens, and sports doctors are often those people who are ready to earn little, but do nothing and do not answer. Of course, this situation requires a radical change.
What should be changed
It is worth starting with the fact that the very concept of "doping" was abolished. But this step on the part of sports federations and committees does not seem realistic. After all, teams and athletes convicted of using illegal drugs pay considerable fines. Thus, it is necessary to create a procedure for challenging the decisions of anti-doping commissions in court, as well as to legalize the change in penalties downward. This step will solve almost half of the existing problem.
After all, when the head coach of a team deliberately forces all athletes to use an ineffective drug that is easily detected during a competition, and then allows all of his athletes to be tested, naturally, the drug will be found, and the athletes will be disqualified. The coach then simply resigns.
In this case, there is practically no doubt that he was paid a decent amount. It's no secret that much more can be paid for the defeat of the team than for the victory. It remains to find out who is given money for this.
The next step should be the official recognition of sports pharmacology. It should become one of the compulsory disciplines in medical and physical education higher educational institutions. It is necessary to accumulate information step by step, systematize it and subsequently apply it for the health benefits of athletes, and not harm. After that, the society will change its position in relation to sports pharmacology and dietetics.
It is important for everyone to understand that sports pharmacology cannot be separated from clinical pharmacology. In those moments when an athlete needs help in treating an injury or any other, then routine clinical research is carried out first, the task of which is to diagnose the problem and its causes. All the same is done for ordinary people.
Diseases from parents are transmitted to each person, and mankind cannot avoid this at this stage of its development. Any parental disease is inherited, and there is only one question, how quickly will it manifest itself?
Every intensive training in any sport needs pharmacological support. Without this, athletes will simply lose their health without achieving results. Sports Pharmacology and Dietetics should only be selected after careful clinical examination of the athlete. At the same time, it is necessary not only to focus on achieving results in the future, but also to cure existing diseases, or at least try to postpone the time of their development, if they were inherited.
The merger of clinical and sports medicine is long overdue. Without such a step, it is not possible to correct the current situation. Some time ago, sports pharmacology could be said to be dead. At present, they have come to life, but its further fate depends only on us. There are only two options for the development of events.
If everything is left unchanged, then athletes will continue to suffer from inexperienced sports doctors who prescribe drugs without knowing all their properties and effects on the body. Teams and athletes will continue to pay huge fines.
If you start to take action, then the concept of "doping" will sooner or later disappear. Public opinion should also contribute to this. Only when ordinary people understand that doping does not exist, then sports functionaries will have to change something.

It should be noted that a similar situation, which is now taking place in sports pharmacology and dietetics, cannot remain unresolved for a long time. Many people understand that changes are needed in the system, but they do nothing for this. The development of pharmacology for athletes and all sports depends only on ourselves.
