Well, NMR spectroscopy is a non-sporting method of analysis.

Explanation:

Proton (and heteroatom) NMR spectroscopy is a direct method of analysis, where direct connectivities between #H#, #C#, #P# (all NMR active nuclei) etc. can be established unequivocally, and where kinetic processes can sometimes be interrogated.

On the other had, UV and IR spectroscopies, and Raman spectroscopy, require a lot more supposition, and are useful in a set of given circumstances; for instance, for IR, the presence of #C=O# and #N-=O# absorptions.
