Abstract

Trace elements are chemical elements needed in minute quantities for the proper growth, development, and physiology of the organism. In biochemistry, a trace element is also referred to as a micronutrient. Trace elements, such as nickel, cadmium, aluminum, silver, chromium, molybdenum, germanium, tin, titanium, tungsten, scandium, are found naturally in the environment and human exposure derives from a variety of sources, including air, drinking water and food. The Purpose of this study was investigated the effect of aerobic maximal intensity endurance exercise on serum trace elements as well-trained individuals of 28 wrestlers (age (year) 19.64±1.13, weight (Kg) 70.07 ± 15.69, height (cm) 176.97 ± 6.69) during and after a 2000 meter Ergometer test protocol was used to perform aerobic (75 %) maximal endurance exercise. Trace element serum levels were analyzed from blood samples taken before, immediately after and one hour after the exercise. While an increase was detected in Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Molybdenum (Mo) and Titanium (Ti) serum levels immediately after the exercise, a decrease was detected in Aluminum (Al), Scandium (Sc) and Tungsten (W) serum levels. Except for aluminum, the trace elements we worked on showed statistically meaningful responses (P<0.05 and P<0.001). According to the responses of trace elements to the exercise showed us the selection and application of the convenient sport is important not only in terms of sportsman performance but also in terms of future healthy life plans and clinically.

Summary

Introduction

Trace elements are chemical elements needed in minute quantities for the proper growth, development, and physiology of the organism. Iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, molybdenum and iodine are useful trace elements and they should be taken in small amounts for continuance of life. Lack of these elements may result in important disorders in the body and even in death. Aluminum is one of the most abundant in the world and possibly toxic trace elements (Aras, 2006) It wasn’t proven that aluminum has an important function in human beings and animals, it was pointed out that it affects some qualities such as growth, reproduction and milk production in some animal trials (Anke, 1990). Tungsten is an element which is widely used for industrial purposes
