Abstract. Considering that legislative, biomedical and psycho-social factors could be the cornerstones in antidoping research, the latter has been the latest to be developed. The aim of this study is to carry out an in-depth bibliographic review on the study of doping in elite sport from the perspective of the social sciences and to identify new anti-doping research challenges to improve prevention strategies in Spain. The review indicates that there are different theoretical models used to understand attitudes, intentions and behaviors towards doping. Similarly, there are many individual, social and sport-specific factors that can influence doping practice. Particularly in Spain, the evolution of the fight against doping has been quite late and it is necessary to promote more social science research, with greater coordination between researchers, anti-doping organizations and national sport federations. ; Considerando que los ejes básicos que conforman el sistema antidopaje son el legislativo, el biomédico y el psicosocial, la investigación en esta última ha sido la más tardía en aparecer. El objetivo principal de este estudio se centra en realizar una revisión bibliográfica en profundidad sobre el estudio del dopaje en el deporte de competición desde la perspectiva de las ciencias sociales e identificar nuevos desafíos de investigación antidopaje para mejorar las estrategias de prevención en España. La revisión indica que existen diferentes modelos teóricos aplicados para comprender las actitudes, intenciones y conductas hacia el dopaje. Del mismo modo, son muchos los factores individuales, sociales y específicos del deporte que pueden influir en el dopaje. En España en particular, la evolución de la lucha contra el dopaje ha sido tardía y es necesario el impulso de una mayor investigación científica en el eje psicosocial, con una mayor coordinación entre los investigadores, los organismos antidopaje y las federaciones deportivas nacionales.

Considerando que os eixos básicos que compõem o sistema antidopagem são o legislativo, o biomédico e o psicossocial, as pesquisas neste último têm sido as mais recentes a surgir. O objetivo principal deste estudo é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica aprofundada sobre o estudo do doping no esporte competitivo na perspectiva das ciências sociais e identificar novos desafios da pesquisa antidoping para melhorar as estratégias de prevenção na Espanha. A revisão indica que existem diferentes modelos teóricos aplicados para compreender atitudes, intenções e comportamentos em relação ao doping. Da mesma forma, muitos fatores individuais, sociais e específicos do esporte podem influenciar o doping. Em Espanha, em particular, a evolução do combate ao doping tem sido tardia e é necessário promover uma maior investigação científica no eixo psicossocial, com maior coordenação entre investigadores, organizações antidopagem e federações desportivas nacionais.

Endurance running has become an immensely popular sporting activity, with millions of recreational runners around the world. Despite the great popularity of endurance running as a recreational activity during leisure time, there is no consensus on the best practice for recreational runners to effectively train to reach their individual objectives and improve physical performance in a healthy manner. Moreover, there are lots of anecdotal data without scientific support, while most scientific evidence on endurance running was developed from studies observing both recreational and professional athletes of different levels. Further, the transference of all this information to only recreational runners is difficult due to differences in the genetic predisposition for endurance running, the time available for training, and physical, psychological, and physiological characteristics. Therefore, the aim of this review is to present a selection of scientific evidence regarding endurance running to provide training guidelines to be used by recreational runners and their coaches. The review will focus on some key aspects of the training process, such as periodization, training methods and monitoring, performance prediction, running technique, and prevention and management of injuries associated with endurance running.
