Mice were given IND (gavage) 1101 h prior to exercise (treadmill run at 30 m/min, 8 % grade for 90 min) or rest for 14 consecutive 100days. Run times, body weight and mortality were recorded daily. Sed-5.0 was highly toxic and 90caused 70 % mortality compared to Sed-2.5, which was well tolerated (0 % mortality) (P < 0.05). While the addition of exercise had no greater effect on mortality in Ex-5.0, it increased it in the 2.5 group (52 % vs. 0 %; P < 0.05). Run time was reduced from baseline beginning on day 2 (Ex-5.0), or day 3 (Ex-2.5) (P < 0.05). Body weight (recorded in the 2.5 mg/kg groups only) was decreased from baseline in Ex-2.5 and Sed-2.5 (P < 0.05), but this effect occurred earlier and was of greater magnitude in Ex-2.5. Exercise combined with IND use can lead to serious side effects in mice. Future research is needed to test the hypothesis that this effect is due to increased GI permeability and whether humans are also at risk. äu se !

Materials and methods Physicians of the teams who participated at the 2010 FIFA World Cup provided the list of medications used by each player within the 72 h preceding every match. Results During the tournament 71.7% of all players took medication, and 60.3% (444 of 736 players) took painkilling agents at least once. Over a third of players (39.0%) took a painkilling agent before every game. More medications were used during the finals than during the qualifying round of matches (pool games) (0.87±0.09 vs 0.77±0.03, p<0.01). Players from North and South America took almost twice the number of medications than did players from other continents (1.18±0.08 vs 0.64±0.03; p<0.01). Conclusion The use of medication reported by the team physicians in international football competition is increasing. Systematic use – medication for every match – appeared to be the norm in certain teams. This has implications for player health. These data encourage efforts to better understand, and to address, this potential disastrous practice in professional sports. ayers CONCLUSION ch 4)to Tscholl, ssclinic, 8008, d; e.ch mber 2011 ary 2012 st . g o y 2002* analgesics, injected corticosteroids and local anaesthetics, muscle relaxants, respiratory drugs, medication for gastrointestinal and antimicrobial purposes and others.

Previous reports have documented the use of medication in International Football for male, female and youth players,1–4 for Olympic Games5–7 and other sports events.8–10 The key determinants associated with the use of a larger number of medications in team and individual sports events were geographical origin and certain team physicians.11 There was only small correlation with age, and no correlation with team-success, previous or current reported injury on the F-MARC (FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Center) injury form and minutes played during the tournament.2 9 11 On several occasions, preventive measures were undertaken from the official medical board of FIFA, where team physicians were informed and alerted to the high use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Guidelines exist to guide sportsphysicians prescribing behaviour.12 13 The main goal of this study was to compare the use of medication in international football in 2010 with previous competitions. Thirty-two countries took part in this tournament, which nominated 23 players each (736 players in the tournament) and participated in 64 matches (2944 player matches). The results were calculated as follows:2 3 (1) substance/player (mean intake per player per match or per tournament) and (2) number of individual player reported to be using a substance (per match or per tournament). The statistical methods applied were frequencies and cross-tabulations. Significance was considered at p≤0.05. On average, players took 0.8 medical substances before each match. More than two-thirds of all medication were in the following drug class: oral analgesics (NSAIDs: 49.0% (n=1144), other analgesics: 10.5% (n=246): 2.3% local anaesthetic injections, n=53), muscle relaxants: 3.8% (n=88)); 84.3% of all NSAIDs were cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-I-inhibitors and 15.6% were COX-II-inhibitors. Corticosteroid injections were given to 2.4% of players (n=55). Nearly half of all players (48.2%), regardless whether they participated in the match, took some sort of medication and to more than one-third (34.6%) of the players at least one NSAID was prescribed before a match. Thirty-two intra-articular, 20 intra-muscular, wherefrom five lumbar and three peritendinous glucocorticoid injections were reported in 25 different players, administered within the 72 h preceding the match; 7.2% of players took at least one antibiotic at some stage during the tournament. Comparing the fi nal rounds (16 teams) with the qualification rounds (32 teams), the rate of medication per match and per player was significantly higher (0.87±0.09 per match/per player vs 0.77±0.03, p<0.01). This was driven by a higher use of NSAIDs (0.46±0.05 vs 0.36±0.02; p<0.01) and more injections of corticosteroids and local anaes- Contributors Every author contributed substantially5. to this publication.

We aimed at defining the use of analgesics and the relation between OTC analgesic use/dose and adverse events (AEs) during and after the race, a relation that has not been investigated to date. Design: Prospective (non-interventional) cohort study, using an online questionnaire. Setting: The Bonn marathon 2010. Participants: 3913 of 7048 participants in the Bonn marathon 2010 returned their questionnaires. Primary and secondary outcomes: Intensity of analgesic consumption before sports; incidence of AEs in the cohort of analgesic users as compared to non-users. Results: There was no significant difference between the premature race withdrawal rate in the analgesics cohort and the cohort who did not take analgesics (‘controls’). However, race withdrawal because of gastrointestinal AEs was significantly more frequent in the analgesics cohort than in the control. Conversely, withdrawal because of muscle cramps was rare, but it was significantly more frequent in controls. The analgesics cohort had an almost 5 times higher incidence of AEs (overall risk difference of 13%). This incidence increased significantly with increasing analgesic dose. Nine respondents reported temporary hospital admittance: three for temporary kidney failure (post-ibuprofen ingestion), four with bleeds (postaspirin ingestion) and two cardiac infarctions (postaspirin ingestion). None of the control reported hospital admittance. Conclusions: The use of analgesics before participating in endurance sports may cause many potentially serious, unwanted AEs that increase with increasing analgesic dose. Analgesic use before endurance sports appears to pose an unrecognised medical problem as yet. If verifiable in other endurance sports, it requires the attention of physicians and regulatory authorities. ARTICLE SUMMARY Article focus ▪ Participation in endurance sports, as in a marathon, is growing worldwide. ▪ Many amateurs engage in occasional endurance activities without adequate training, medical information and experience. ▪ They try to overcome pain during and after sports by taking over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics. Key message ▪ We hypothesised that the drugs taken before sports may increase the incidence of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and kidney damage without lowering the pain during and after the exercise. An evaluation of about 4000 participants in a marathon and half marathon respectively supports this contention. Serious unwanted events occurred predominantly in users of analgesics. A benefit was not apparent. Strengths and limitations of this study ▪ This is the first investigation which relates unwanted drug effects during endurance sports to the use of analgesics.

We aimed at defining the use of analgesics and the relation between OTC analgesic use/dose and adverse events (AEs) during and after the race, a relation that has not been investigated to date. Design: Prospective (non-interventional) cohort study, using an online questionnaire. Setting: The Bonn marathon 2010. Participants: 3913 of 7048 participants in the Bonn marathon 2010 returned their questionnaires. Primary and secondary outcomes: Intensity of analgesic consumption before sports; incidence of AEs in the cohort of analgesic users as compared to non-users. Results: There was no significant difference between the premature race withdrawal rate in the analgesics cohort and the cohort who did not take analgesics (‘controls’). However, race withdrawal because of gastrointestinal AEs was significantly more frequent in the analgesics cohort than in the control. Conversely, withdrawal because of muscle cramps was rare, but it was significantly more frequent in controls.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effect of NSAID on the local peritendinous concentrations of PGE2 and patella tendon collagen synthesis in response to an acute bout of endurance training. This was done to clarify the relationship between collagen synthesis and PGE2 levels by monitoring the effect on collagen synthesis when PGE2 release is blocked by NSAID. Based on previous findings, it was hypothesized that the treatment with NSAID would lead to a decrease in PGE2 levels. Given that PGE2 is a growth factor for collagen tissue, NSAID treatment would then lead to a decrease in the exerciseinduced increase in collagen synthesis.

Holger Gabriel Lehrstuhl für Sportmedizin und Gesundheitsförderung Friedrich-Schiller Universität Jena Analgetika im Sport - eine unterschätzte Gefahr? Akute körperliche Beanspruchung wirkt Sport birgt Sport zieht pro- und antiinflammatorisch schmerzfördernd und schmerzhemmend Verletzungs-, Überlastungs-, Unfall- und Gewaltgefahren die Beanspruchung diagnostischer, therapeutischer und rehabilitativer Ressourcen nach sich Die Einnahme von Analgetika im Sport ist sehr wahrscheinlich (allgemein, Einzelverlauf). Welche Indikation ist angemessen? Wer ist für die Einnahme von Analgetika verantwortlich? Präventiv? Therapeutisch? Rehabilitativ? Gesundheit? Leistung? Adaptation? Arzt, Patient, Sportler, Berufstätige, Soldat, „Jedermann“, „Jederfrau“, Süchtige, Erziehungsberechtigte, Vormund Informationen über Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen von Analgetika sind allgemein verfügbar. Die Einnahme von Analgetika setzt eine medizinische Indikation voraus. Die ethischen Prinzipien der Selbstbestimmung, des Nichtschädigens („primum nihil nocere“) und der Fürsorge sind essentieller Bestandteil des Arztethos. 5.
