| During the training and competition of athletes, a great amount of water and electrolytes are expelled from the body in the form of sweat. A series of important metabolites such as lactic acid, uric acid, urea, creatinine, and creatine are excreted into sweat. Based on sweat analysis, we can have an immediate insight into the physical condition of sportsmen during sports, body metabolism as well as the adaptability of the body in exercise. Sweat analysis has very important practical significance for athlete selection, daily physical training and physical recovery.
