Abstract
Eleven high school and collegiate female cross country runners were given iron supplementation plus ascorbic acid throughout the 12 weeks of their training and competitive season. Because absorption of iron is affected by the presence of ascorbic acid, seven other female runners received ascorbic acid supplement only. Fourteen non-athletic females served as controls. The iron-supplemented group showed a significantly greater hemoglobin level at T2 than either of the other groups. Menstrual status was unaffected by and unrelated to the variables measured.
