A NMR analysis of urine samples obtained from swimming athletes at the 2006 Doha Asian Games

摘要

@@ Introduction Scientists have attempted to determine the factors that create a world-class athlete, by using physiology, biochemistry, histology, and genetic engineering techniques (Myburgh, 2003). However, the above-mentioned methods are not effective as performance predictors among relatively homogenous groups of well-trained elite or even sub-elite athletes (Myburgh, 2003). This paper demonstrates determination of athletic potential may be possible through analyzing athletes' urine with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
