Item Impacto del uso de sustancias psicoactivas en el rendimiento deportivo(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Grueso Ibarguen, David Santiago; González Candelo, Jhon Alexander; Ruiz Caicedo, Jadilson; Rivera Hurtado, Ferney (Director)The use of psychoactive substances in sports, such as stimulants, anabolic steroids and recreational drugs, has generated much controversy due to their effects on athletes' performance and health. Although they can offer short-term benefits, such as increased muscle mass and better concentration, their prolonged use can cause serious damage to vital organs, cardiovascular problems, hormonal alterations, addiction and mental health problems. Thus, the aim is to describe the impact of this type of substances on high-performance athletes. From an ethical point of view, they are considered a form of cheating and go against the spirit of fair competition, resulting in sanctions and damage to the athlete's reputation. Historically, doping has roots in ancient Greece and Rome, and its regulation has evolved significantly, especially since the 20th century with the creation of anti-doping tests and the founding of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Despite advances in the detection and fight against doping, it remains a challenge due to sophisticated doping techniques. The fight continues to focus on protecting the health of athletes, ensuring fairness in competition and preserving the integrity of sport. Concluding the use of psychoactive substances in sport poses serious ethical and health dilemmas. While they may provide temporary benefits such as increased performance and enhanced concentration, their prolonged use carries significant risks to the physical and mental health of athletes.
