AIS Sports Supplement Framework</h3> <div class="row"> <div class="col"> <p>Sports foods and supplements can play a small but important role in the sports nutrition plans of high performance athletes.

Is it effective? Is it permitted for use in sport?</p><p>The ABCD Classification system ranks sports foods and supplement ingredients into four groups according to scientific evidence and other practical considerations that determine whether a product is safe, permitted and effective in improving sports performance.</p><p>AIS Supplements Framework Committee has revised the Supplements Framework to ensure it has the most up to date information and resources for practitioners and athletes.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 ml-md-6 pt-md-0"> <div class="p-2 pt-md-1 theme-primary bg-primary hide-bullets-section-2 "> <h3 class="my-2">Guiding principles for AIS Sports Supplements Framework</h3> <div><p><i class="fal fa-question-circle fa-2x fa-pull-left fa-asc-blue-lt mr-1" aria-hidden="true"></i>Is it safe? <br /><br /><i class="fal fa-question-circle fa-2x fa-pull-left fa-asc-blue-lt mr-1" aria-hidden="true"></i>Is it permitted in sport? <br /><br /><i class="fal fa-question-circle fa-2x fa-pull-left fa-asc-blue-lt mr-1" aria-hidden="true"></i>Is there evidence that it “works”?</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-block pt-6 pt-sm-7 pt-lg-1 py-lg-4"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-xl-8 col-lg-10 col-md-11"> <p class="lead"><p><a href="https://www.ais.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/1000841/Position-Statement-Supplements-and-Sports-Foods.pdf" target=" _blank " class="btn btn-secondary btn-md">AIS Position Statement: Supplements and Sports Foods in High Performance Sport <i class="ml-1 fa-light fa-xl fa-file-pdf" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></p></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-block"> <div class="container tile-listing"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-12 offset-md-1 offset-lg-0"> <div role="list" class="content-drawer row node_996759_link_Navy"> <div role="listitem" class="content-drawer__item col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-3"> <div class="tile-item"> <a href="supplements/group_a" aria-controls="#group_a" class="mt-4 border-0 rounded-0 tile-icon " style="background-color: #64cbe8;" > <span class="tile-content"> <span class="d-flex flex-column h-100"> <span class="tile-img flex-fill d-md-flex d-none h-50 justify-content-center align-items-end align-items-sm-center align-items-lg-end align-items-xl-center mt-2 mt-sm-0"> <img src="https://www.ais.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0003/698340/supplements_A.png" alt="" width="120" height="80" class="d-block" /> </span> <span class="p-2 tile-title flex-fill h-50 flex-column d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center justify-content-lg-center align-items-lg-center justify-content-sm-start align-items-sm-start justify-content-xl-start align-items-xl-start"> <p class="w-100 text-center mb-0 text-uppercase h4" style="color: #000033 ;

Nonetheless, supplement use is widespread at all levels of sport. Products described as supplements target different issues, including (1) the management of micronutrient deficiencies, (2) supply of convenient forms of energy and macronutrients, and (3) provision of direct benefits to performance or (4) indirect benefits such as supporting intense training regimens. The appropriate use of some supplements can benefit the athlete, but others may harm the athlete's health, performance, and/or livelihood and reputation (if an anti-doping rule violation results). A complete nutritional assessment should be undertaken before decisions regarding supplement use are made. Supplements claiming to directly or indirectly enhance performance are typically the largest group of products marketed to athletes, but only a few (including caffeine, creatine, specific buffering agents and nitrate) have good evidence of benefits. However, responses are affected by the scenario of use and may vary widely between individuals because of factors that include genetics, the microbiome and habitual diet. Supplements intended to enhance performance should be thoroughly trialled in training or simulated competition before being used in competition. Inadvertent ingestion of substances prohibited under the anti-doping codes that govern elite sport is a known risk of taking some supplements. Protection of the athlete's health and awareness of the potential for harm must be paramount; expert professional opinion and assistance is strongly advised before an athlete embarks on supplement use.</p> </div> </figure> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <a href="#top" class="button--top button--sticky" data-show="false" data-stick="false"> <i class="icon-arrow-up"
