Concept explainers
To define: The term ergogenic aid.
Introduction: The sports performance refers to a mixture of emotional factors, training techniques, and biomechanical functions. An ergogenic aid is one of the factors that play a key role in performance of the athlete.

Explanation of Solution
Ergogenic aids are also referred to as performance-enhancing substances (PES) because ergogenic aids are the work-producing substances and are believed to help in increasing the performance of athletes. The examples of ergogenic aids are nutrients or dietary supplements, drugs, warm-up exercise, blood doping, music, extrinsic biomechanical aids, and oxygen breathing.
Athletes usually use these work-producing substances in order to boost their performance as well as increase their possibilities of winning in a particular competition. Nutritional ergogenic aids affect energy
The ergogenic aids are generally utilised at all the levels of competition. Initially, the athletes use the work-producing substances to achieve greater athletic success, financial gain, and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Moreover, some athletes start using ergogenic aids because they have the perception that other athletes are using them.
