- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study serum magnesium (Mg) alternation in male athletes, according to the scale of nanogram per micro liter. A microscopic alternation, even in nanogram per micro liter scale, in some mineral elements results in extensive alternations in some bodily functions and athletes' performance. To this end, twelve male athletes participated in this research. The researchers took blood samples from the athletes in three different stages. The first stage was in a fasting mode at eight o'clock in the morning. After the first stage, subjects performed Balke's 15-minute aerobic run to the point of exhaustion. The traversed distance was measured and recorded by the researchers. In the second stage, blood samples were taken immediately after the run and in the third stage, after 24 hours of rest. The comparison of the means of serum magnesium concentration in blood between the first and second stages resulted in a significant difference (P = 0.003). There was no significant difference between the means of the first and third stages (P = 0.239), and the comparison between means of the second and third stages also resulted in a significant difference (P = 0.0001).The results indicate that physical exercise to the point of exhaustion leads to an increase in serum magnesium concentration in men. However, 24 hours of relaxation can return the concentration of serum magnesium to its normal mode.
