"In recent years sport has been revolutionized into a multi-billion dollar industry. In this program we investigate the substances, techniques and equipment that athletes have used throughout history, and are using today, to enhance their sporting performance. Intended for use as a general introduction to the full spectrum of ergogenic aids in modern sport, this program covers: nutrition, training, and traditional ergogenic aids, pharmacological aids and the issues of drugs in sport, the rise of physiological aids, sports psychology, the impact of sports equipment, clothing and other (bio)mechanical ergogenics, issues of 'fair play', and ergogenic aids of the future."
