title: Effect of magnesium supplementation on some plasma elements in athletes at rest and exhaustion.
abstract: The effects of magnesium supplementation on plasma magnesium, zinc, and copper levels were determined in young adult tae-kwon-do athletes and sedentary controls at rest and exhaustion. After a 4-week supplementation period with 10 mg/day/kg Mg, the plasma magnesium, copper, and zinc levels significantly increased in sedentary and training (90-120 min training 5 days a week) subjects when compared to nonsupplemented controls (p < 0.05).
