Because they promote lower heart rates and reduce tremors, beta blockers have been used in professional sports where high accuracy is required, including archery, shooting, golf[40] and snooker.[40] Beta blockers are banned by the International Olympic Committee.[41] In the 2008 Summer Olympics, 50-metre pistol silver medalist and 10-metre air pistol bronze medalist Kim Jong-su tested positive for propranolol and was stripped of his medals.[42]

For similar reasons, beta blockers have also been used by surgeons.[43]

Classical musicians have commonly used beta blockers since the 1970's to reduce stage fright.[44]
