Abstract:   (1147 Views)
Background. The central issue of research ethics is how the potential conflict between scientific goals and the people’s interests taking part in the research should be overcome. People must have absolute priority and protection to prevent harm to research participants.
Objectives. When conducting sports tests at maximum rates, assess all possible risks for research participants. Consider ethical methods of control when conducting various trials related to human life.
Methods. Diverse literature touches on the moments and aspects of an ethical approach to the problem of conducting maximum tests.
Results. There is a standard model of procedures in maximal tests performed with athletes. The research and testing model is based on ethical principles disclosed in the Helsinki declaration.
Conclusion. Since there are always no rules of behavior applicable to all situations, ethics provides operating principles, norms, and values for action that man will apply evolutionarily, using his reason.
