Blood biochemical parameters in athletes after combined muscular exercise and food loading

The biochemical parameters of blood in highly qualified athletes coached in different energy regimens after graded bicycle exercise and consuming trial carbohydrate breakfast were studied. The glucose, total protein, albumin, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, and sodium concentrations were evaluated in blood serum. Significant differences in the glucose, magnesium, sodium and chlorine concentrations in athletes and individuals not going in for sports were found. These results provide evidence for considerable changes in energy and water-salt metabolisms after training under different energy conditions.
