Abstract
In this study, the effects of 8-week swimming training applied to men aged 20-25 on sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), iron, CRP, creatinine, bilirubin, albumin parameters were investigated. Ten men with a mean age of 23.07±1.76 years participated in the study. A swimming training program was applied to the participants for 10 weeks/3 days. All tests and measurements were performed before starting the 8-week training program and after completing the 8-week program. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the SPSS 15.0 package program. The normality distribution of the data was made using the shapiro-wilk test. Participants’ pre-post test measurements were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. According to the results of the data, there was a statistically significant difference between pre-post test data for body weight (BW), sodium, magnesium, creatinine, albumin and bilirubin (p < 0.05). As a result, it can be said that the changes in the minerals and some biochemical parameters necessary for the body with the training programs applied regularly can affect the performance.
Highlights
Tem Minerals determined as essential nutrients; sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron have biochemical functions that have the potential to affect physical performance (Trumbo et al, 2001)

Summary
Tem Minerals determined as essential nutrients; sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron have biochemical functions that have the potential to affect physical performance (Trumbo et al, 2001). Magnesium, and iron serve various functions in the body, such as bone mineralization, serving as cofactors for many enzyme systems, maintaining muscle-nerve stimulation, and maintaining oxygen transport (Clarkson, 1991). Men lose 0.6 mg of iron per day and women about twice as much (Arslan et al, 2004). Micronutrients such as magnesium are taken in very small amounts, unlike macronutrients, they play an important role in the regulation of whole body metabolism, including energy use and work performance (Lukaski, 2000). Potassium is the most important cation of the intracellular environment (Aygencel, 2018)
