Abstract :
Background: In line with the general policy of quantitative and qualitative development of sports by relying on scientific and research achievements and in order to keep sports clean from the harmful and destructive phenomenon of inappropriate use of drugs and supplements, an exorbitant amount is paid annually to track drugs and control doping. The purpose of this research is to investigate the consumption of permitted and unauthorized supplements among skiing athletes in Tehran. Materials and Methods: According to the nature of the subject and research objectives, the present research uses the analytical descriptive research method along with the survey method, which was conducted in the field by presenting a standard questionnaire. The statistical population in this research is 103 people from the first to tenth place in national championships. In this research, after collecting data, we use factorial variance analysis, Friedman test and linear regression to perform statistical analysis. Results: The findings of the research showed that according to the results of this research, we find that all the selected variables in this research, which include (effects on muscles, physical effects, doping and motivation), have a significant effect on the consumption of sports supplements by They have athletes. Also, considering that the selected sample is from the first to tenth champions of the country's skiing championships, most of these people have an acceptable quality of sleep without any particular problem. Conclusion: It seems that the variables of this research include effects on muscle, physical effects, doping and motivation. The test results showed that the importance and ranking of these criteria are different among athletes. The comparison of the average ranks shows that the most important variable influencing why sports supplements are used among ski athletes was the positive effects on the muscles and improving their performance.
