Dietary supplements are used among athletes to increase energy, enhance performance, or make up for a lack of nutritional resources. However, athletes put their career and health on the line when they decide to supplement, especially with dietary supplements that contain stimulants. Drug Free Sport AXIS staff will discuss stimulant use in sport; specifically, how stimulants can negatively affect an athlete’s health, performance, and eligibility. We will also share the most common stimulants listed in dietary supplements, along with alternatives to using dietary supplements for energy and performance.

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be better able to:

1. Recognize common stimulants used as ingredients in dietary supplements.
2. Outline the potential risks associated with excessive stimulant use.
3. Address energy and performance demands with recommended alternatives to supplement use.
