THE USE OF MEDICATIONS

The use of medications prescribed for various medical conditions by qualified physicians may be of great value to the athlete as with any other individual in the population. Under average circumstances an athlete would be expected to respond to medication just as anyone else would. However, because of the nature of physical activity, the athlete's situation is not average; with intense physical activity, special consideration should be given to the effects of certain types of medication.

For the sports therapist supervising a program of rehabilitation, some knowledge of the potential effects of certain types of drugs on performance during the rehabilitation program is essential. The sports therapist working under the direction of a team physician is responsible for keeping the athlete healthy and ready to train and compete under physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding circumstances. The sports therapist should be concerned not only with rehabilitation but also with prevention, acute management, and evaluation of sports-related injuries. On occasion, the sports therapist must make decisions regarding the appropriate use of medications based on knowledge of the indications for use and the possible side effects in athletes who are involved in rehabilitation programs.

The sports therapist must be cognizant of the potential effects and side effects of over-the-counter and prescription medications on the athlete during rehabilitation, as well as during competition.
