Abstract
Background: The purpose this study was the effect of one session endurance running (5000 m) on the level of serum electrolytes.
Materials and methods: In this quasi-experimental, 14 male runners participated in the test, voluntarily. After warm-up, subjects ran distances of 5,000 meters in 23 minutes and participated in the second blood sampling. Photometer and spectrophotometer video device to determine blood electrolytes were used.
Results: 5,000-meter run at Tehran's climate caused significant change in serum sodium (p=0/039, t=2/30).Serum calcium levels also rose significantly in the amount of 7/1 percent (p=0/005, t=-3/37).
Conclusion: the 5000-meter run, Increases in sodium and calcium in the blood serum and Reduces the amount of potassium.
