摘要：The purpose of the study was to investigate the psychological pathology and the use of legal and illegal sports supplements in female athletes. This research was descriptive-analytic and is in the cross sectional study. 485 participants completed questionnaires including background information, attitude and knowledge about the use of supplements, and a short form of self-concept questionnaire with an internal consistency of 0. 90 and time reliability of 0. 83. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the central tendency indicators. About 24% of athlete women used sports supplements, 61% of them have had constant attention to authorized and unauthorized supplements. More than 20% have been used only with their coach confirmation. The results showed a significant relationship between physical self-concept and sport supplement consumption. Also due to the low level of recognition of women, it is possible to prevent the effects of these drugs more effectively through appropriate training on the harmful effects of them.
