Summary Introduction
To determine:
The state of nitrogen balance in an athlete during intensive training
Introduction:
Nitrogen is an important element in for all the living organisms. It is the raw material for the so called the building blocks of the body: proteins. Proteins are called the building blocks as all the enzymes, many hormones and transport molecules and some parts of the membranes are made up of proteins. In plants nitrogen is taken in, in the form of nitrates. So in both the cases it helps in the general body growth.
