Best Answer

Amphetamines are stimulants and will increase heart rate. The mixture of sports (already a heavy load on the heart) and amphetamines can be deadly. If you are taking an amphetamine for ADD or ADHD, you should ask your doctor if the sport you want to play is contraindicated while you are taking the medication.

Stimulants such as caffeine will also increase your heart rate, but are not as dangerous as street drug stimulants. If you have no caffeine tolerance (i.e., you don't ever consume any thing with caffeine), it is unhealthy to take caffeine tablets and then exercise or play a strenuous sport.

Ephedra is a stimulant which has been used as a nasal decongestant for thousands of years. Several deaths have been reported in teens who were taking this stimulant and other street drugs.

Taking any form of stimulant for any purpose without the supervision of a physician is not recommended. Some of the long term effects of stimulants can be paranoia, schizophrenia, weight loss, hair loss and heart problems.

Stimulants may temporarily increase your performance in a sport, but you may lose your life experimenting. There are reports of people dying from heart attacks while practicing sports. Adding stimulants and the adrenaline that you get from the real game is an excess of stimulation and the heart will suffer.
