Rapid Assessment of Exercise State through Athlete’s Urine Using Temperature-Dependent NIRS Technology

Abstract

Athletes usually take nutritional supplements and perform the specialized training to improve the performance of sport. A quick assessment of their athletic status will help to understand the current physical function of athletes’ status and the effect of nutritional supplementation. Human urine, as one of the most important body indicators, is composed of many metabolites, which can provide effective monitoring information for physical conditions. In this study, temperature-dependent near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology was used to collect the spectra of athlete’s urine for evaluating the feasibility of rapidly detecting the exercise state of the basketball player. To obtain the detection results accurately, several chemometrics methods including principal component analysis (PCA), variables selection method of variable importance in projection (VIP), continuous 1D wavelet transform (CWT), and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were employed to develop a classifier to distinguish the physical status of athletes. The optimal classifying results were obtained by wavelet-PLS-DA classifier, whose average precision, sensitivity, and specificity are all above 0.95, and the overall accuracy of all samples is 0.97. These results demonstrate that temperature-dependent NIRS can be used to rapidly assess the physical function of athlete’s status and the effect of nutritional supplementation is feasible. It can be believed that temperature-dependent NIR spectroscopy will obtain applications more widely in the future.

Sensor Action Recognition, Tracking, and Optimization Analysis in Training Process Based on Virtual Reality Technology

“…It is used to train the adaptability or sensitivity of athletes. Its purpose is to improve the on-the-spot adaptability of athletes in the competition, quickly adapt to the competition environment, ensure the normal play of the competition, and improve the competition results [11]. Aha et al designed a motion simulation system based on ADAMS.…”

Kinect and Few-Shot Technology-Based Simulation of Physical Fitness and Health Training Model for Basketball Players in Plateau Area

“…For the training participants, the training goal describes the ultimate goal of the sports training process, and all training activities aid in achieving this ultimate goal. By ensuring that all links and training activities in the training process can be fully developed around the realization of the target state [ 12 ], the determination of this ultimate goal provides a basis for the formulation and implementation of training plans and competition plans in the training process. Physical fitness goals, on the other hand, are horizontally related to technical and psychological training goals, so adjustments to other training goals, such as physical fitness requirements, should be taken into account when determining physical fitness goals.…”

“…In general, there is a negative correlation between basketball players and their training. That is, as the training amount increases, the training intensity decreases [ 12 , 13 ], and as the training intensity increases, the training amount decreases as well [ 12 , 13 ]. The difference between basketball and other sports, according to literature [ 14 ], is that it is the same game in which space, ground, time, and speed compete with each other around the basket in the air.…”
