Nanomaterials in Sports Training and Its Biological Safety

Abstract

Nanomaterials have many special functions. Sports field provides a platform for nanomaterials to show their excellent performance. At the same time, nanomaterials in the body may also have negative effects on cells, lung tissue, liver and kidney tissue, and brain tissue; there are certain biological safety risks. Based on the above background, this article studies the application and biological safety of nanomaterials in sports training. In this article, silver nanoparticles were prepared by improved liquid-phase chemical reduction method and photochemical reduction method. The antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles with different concentrations and sizes were tested and characterized, and the possible antibacterial mechanism was speculated. Nanosilver refers to the metallic silver element with the particle size to the nanoscale. The acute toxicity test and hemolytic test were carried out on the safety of silver nanoparticles. In the acute toxicity test, when 100 μL nanosilver solution was added, the visceral weight, body weight, and tissue sections of mice were almost not affected; in terms of biochemical indexes, all biochemical indexes returned to normal when the injection volume was 0.1 μL. The results show that nanosilver still has certain influence on biochemical indexes at high dose. How to reduce the influence will be one of the key work in the future. In addition, hemolysis test showed that no hemolysis occurred when nanosilver solution was injected at 2.77 μL. This will lay a foundation for the use of nanosilver sportswear in direct contact with human blood in the future.
