Abstract

This research aims to study the changes in the levels of certain mineral salts (calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium) in the blood of long-distance runners and long-distance swimmers before and after physical exercises, as well as the relationship between these salts and the maximum oxygen consumption. A sample of 14 athletes (7 runners and 7 swimmers) was selected, and the levels of these salts in the blood were measured before and after the exercises using an ergometer. The results showed a decrease in magnesium levels and an increase in calcium and phosphorus levels after physical exercises. Additionally, a correlation was found between magnesium levels and maximum oxygen consumption. The study recommends the importance of magnesium intake to compensate for the loss during prolonged exercises.
