Abstract
Severe training is associated with an additional iron consumption of about 1 mgday. In female athletes menstrual blood loss augments this iron loss to 1.5mgday. Reduced hemoglobin concentration is found in about 5 and reduced serum iron in about 20 of female athletes. Iron deficiency goes along with impaired physical working capacity. If protein intake is as much as 1 gkg theiron balance may not be affected; however, caloric fat content of more than 40 impairs iron absorption. In female athletes participating in severe training the iron status should be controlled. Iron deficiency, even if it is latent, should be treated by oral iron supplementation. Verf.-Referat
