Abstract

Introduction: High performance sports demand maximum performance from athletes and, in this context, there is a search by athletes for supplementary resources of substances that promote the increase of an already high performance. The issue is of great interest to athletes, coaches, and health professionals that work with high-performance athletes.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to highlight the importance of medical-scientific research on the use of substances that contribute to the increase in physical performance in the relationship between health benefits and risks in the context of sport and exercise.

Conclusion: The importance of medical-scientific research on the use of substances and methods that contribute to the increase in physical performance in the relationship between health benefits and risks in the context of sport and exercise dates to the beginnings of the practice of physical exercise, in the Ancient Age. Nowadays, it is a fundamental subject in the field of high-performance sports. Current issues were presented and discussed.
