(College of Physical Education,South China Normal University,Guangzhou 510631,China) Abstract: The authors gave an overview of domestic and foreign researches on the application of histochemical techniques in sports researches from such aspects as common histochemistry, enzyme histochemistry, immunohis-tochemistry, in situ hybridization histochemistry and quantitative histochemistry. With the rapid development of modern biochemistry and molecular biology, common histochemical methods used in sports researches are gradu-ally becoming obsolete and replaced by other test means that are more efficient and accurate, such as immunological methods and quantitative histochemical methods, in which advanced histochemical techniques such as flow cy-tometry technique, laser scanning confocal microscope technique and immunohistochemical electron microscope technique are ever increasingly showing their tremendous potentials for application in sports researches, and pro-viding a comprehensive, stable, reliable and accurate research platform for researches in this area.
