“…Protein supplements can be classified as any ergogenic aid outside an athlete's standard diet designed to increase the quantity of amino acids consumed for enhanced training adaptations . The muscle protein synthesis benefits of consuming protein‐rich foods following exercise are well reported, which has led to a vast increase in the presence of protein‐based performance supplements in the market and created a multi‐billion dollar industry …”

“…This trend is of particular concern given that products on the nutritional (dietary) supplement market are considered foodstuffs and not medicines in most countries. As such, the supplement industry lacks the rigour in regulation and enforcement associated with medicines (Cohen 2009;Collins & Kalman 2009;Petróczi et al 2011). …”

Nutritional supplement (NS) use is widespread in sport. This study applied an integrated social cognitive approach to examine doping attitudes, beliefs and self-reported doping use behaviour across NS users (n=96) and non-users (n=116). Following ethical approval, 212 competitive athletes (age mean=21.4, s=4.5; 137 males) completed self-reported measures of doping-related social cognitions and behaviours, presented in an online format where completion implied consent. Significantly more NS users (22.9%) reported doping compared with non-users (6.0%; U= 4628.0, p< 0.05). NS users presented significantly more positive attitudes towards doping (U= 3152.0, p<0.05) and expressed a significantly greater belief that doping is effective (U= 3152.0, p<0.05). When presented with the scenario that performance enhancing substances are effective and increase the possibility of winning, NS users were significantly more in favour of competing in situations which allow doping (U= 3504.5, p<0.05). In sum, doping use is three and a half times more prevalent in NS users compared to non-users. This finding is accompanied by significant differences in doping attitudes, norms and beliefs. Thus, this paper offers support for the gateway hypothesis; athletes who engage in legal performance enhancement practices appear to embody an 'at risk' group for transition towards doping. Education should be appropriately targeted.

“…While being a niche branch for professional athletes in the past, the market for anabolic supplements has nowadays evolved into a market for recreational athletes. Despite suffering from negative press and a considerable amount of lawsuits [1], the branch maintains continuous growth which is largely caused by aggressive marketing campaigns of supplement manufacturers [2]. Unlike pharmaceutical products, nutritional supplements (and the advertising of such) are considerably less regulated by law [3].…”

The objective of this exploratory study was to gain first insights into the motives of recreational athletes for buying and consuming anabolic supplements. For this purpose we conducted a qualitative study among young males in Germany between April and May 2012. We used the means-end chain analysis as a methodological approach -a common qualitative research method to uncover buying motives through special in-depth interviews called "laddering". The sample consisted of n=21 male recreational athletes aged from 21 to 28, all of whom engaged in resistance sports and miscellaneous other disciplines. The findings suggest that the economical use of resources, strive for appreciation amongst peers and by the opposite sex and reducing the risk of ineffective training are likely buying motives for this group.
