Effect of magnesium supplementation on some plasma elements in athletes at rest and exhaustion.
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).
