tailieunhanh - An Introduction to Drugs in Sport

When we started work on this book our intention was to produce a revised and updated version of Ivan Waddington’s book, Sport, Health and Drugs. That book had been published in 2000 and, given that the world of drugs in sport is a rapidly changing one, it was certainly due for a revision. However in the course of writing this book, it has changed into something rather different.

The first section consisted of four chapters which examined different aspects of the relationship between sport and health, while the second part. | DRUGS IN SPORT Addicted to winning Ivan Waddington and Andy Smith An Introduction to Drugs in Sport Why do many athletes risk their careers by taking performance-enhancing drugs Do the highly competitive pressures of elite sports teach athletes to win at any cost An Introduction to Drugs in Sport provides a detailed and systematic examination of drug use in sport and attempts to explain why athletes have over the last four decades increasingly used performance-enhancing drugs. It offers a critical overview of the major theories of drug use in sport and provides a detailed analysis of the involvement of sports physicians in the development and use of performance-enhancing drugs.
