Abstract
Methods and compositions for enhancing the score of an individual in a sport activity are disclosed.
Claims11
A method of enhancing performance of an individual in a sport activity, comprising the step of:
- administering to the individual for inhalation an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more odorants while performing the sport activity such that a score of the individual is improved by a statistically significant amount compared to the individual's score when said sport activity is performed without inhalation of the composition.
A method of increasing a bowling score of an individual, comprising the step of:
- administering to the individual for inhalation an effective amount of a composition comprising a jasmine odorant as a primary odor while bowling such that, upon bowling a set number of frames, the individual's score is higher than the individual's score after bowling said set number of frames without inhalation of the composition by a statistically significant amount.
A composition consisting essentially of a suprathreshold and non-irritant concentration of one or more odorants such that, when inhaled by an individual, the composition is effective to improve a score of the individual in a sport activity by a statistically significant amount compared to the individual's score upon performing said sport activity without inhalation of the composition.
A composition consisting essentially of a jasmine odorant in a carrier such that, when inhaled by an individual, the composition is effective to increase the individual's bowling score of a set number of frames by a statistically significant amount compared to the individual's bowling score upon bowling said set number of frames without inhaling the composition.
A composition comprising a mixture of odorants in a carrier, said mixture of odorants comprising a suprathreshold and non-irritant concentration of a jasmine odorant in combination with a less than suprathreshold concentration of one or more odorants that complement and do not mask the jasmine odorant, such that, when inhaled by an individual, the composition is effective to improve a score of the individual in a sport activity by a statistically significant amount compared to the score of the individual upon performing said sport activity without inhalation of the composition.
A method of screening an odorant composition for effectively altering an individual's sport performance, comprising the steps of:
- a) having an individual perform a sport activity without inhalation of the odorant composition and tallying the score to provide a “control score”;
- b) having the individual re-perform the sport activity from step a) while inhaling a suprathreshold and but non-irritant concentration of the odorant composition consisting essentially of one or more test odorants, and tallying the score to provide a “test score”;
- c) comparing the control score to the test score to determine the statistical significance between the two scores;
- and
- d) eliminating the odorant composition as being ineffective to enhance performance of the individual in the sport activity if not statistically significant.
