Abstract des Autors
We conclude that there is no basis for recommending that all women athletes routinely ingest oral iron supplements for prophylactic purposes. However, certain individual athletes (those who are iron deficient and/or anemic) may require dietary iron supplementation. We recommend that coaches, trainers, andteam physicians maintain a constant awareness that significant percentage of women are iron deficient and consequently are at increased risk of developing anemia. We suggest that tests of Hb and iron storage be included in the medical screening of women athletes and that such tests be repeated whenever an athlete experiences an unexplained drop-off in endurance performance.
