Was investigated ergogenic aids (EAs) used by Brazilian athletes and their association with performance, sex, sports classification, and modality. It identified the main purposes of EAs and their prescription.
239 athletes of 15 modalities, ranging from regional to international level, answered a survey online.
Highly competitive athletes consumed nutritional and mechanical aids more (OR = 1.96 CI 95% [1.28-2.9]; OR = 1.79 CI 95% [1.29-2.47]), while the use of psychological EAs decreased [OR = 1.66 95% CI (1.18-2.94); = 0.001]. Male athletes [OR = 1.44 CI 95% (1.11-2.88)] and individual sports practitioners [OR = 1.78 CI 95% (1.02-3.11)] used nutritional aids more. Triathlon athletes had higher nutritional EA use, while soccer athletes had lower. Combat sports athletes had higher pharmacological EA use.
Athletes use nutritional and pharmacological aids more to improve performance and gain lean body mass. Mechanical aids were used for recovery and psychological aids for motivation. Self-prescription is common, especially for pharmacological aids.

239名来自15个运动项目、从地区水平到国际水平的运动员在线回答了一项调查问卷。
竞争激烈的运动员更多地使用营养和机械辅助剂（比值比[OR]=1.96，95%置信区间[CI][1.28 - 2.9]；OR = 1.79，95% CI[1.29 - 2.47]），而心理促力辅助剂的使用减少[OR = 1.66，95% CI(1.18 - 2.94)；P = 0.001]。男性运动员[OR = 1.44，95% CI(1.11 - 2.88)]和个人运动项目从业者[OR = 1.78，95% CI(1.02 - 3.11)]更多地使用营养辅助剂。铁人三项运动员营养促力辅助剂的使用较高，而足球运动员较低。格斗运动项目运动员药理促力辅助剂的使用较高。
