Some human activities and states such as stress,hard disputes in sports and games,etc do liberate endomorphine,adrenaline and other produts that well may affect the brain behaviour IMHO. That said it is possible that taking some meds before practicing some competetive sport may well help in the absorption of the drug.Would that have merits to be researched ??
