Description
Summary:Pain reduction can be a significant factor favourably influencing sporting performance. The article is principally focused on evaluating the effects of a combination of analgesics, namely paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid, on maximum performance and on the perception of load intensity. In a set of healthy athletes (n = 16, mean age = 32.6), who underwent two standardized Wingate Anaerobic tests with and without the indication of the selected analgesics, we ascertained no significant differences in any of the observed parameters of anaerobic performance nor in any other data observed.
