Minerals are essential for a wide variety of metabolic and physiologic processes in the human body. Some of the physiologic roles of minerals important to athletes are their involvement in: muscle contraction, normal hearth rhythm, nerve impulse conduction, oxygen transport, oxidative phosphorylation, enzyme activation, immune functions, antioxidant activity, bone health, and acid-base balance of the blood. The two major classes of minerals are the macrominerals and the trace elements. The scope of this article will focus on the ergogenic theory and the efficacy of such mineral supplementation.
矿物质对于人体的各种新陈代谢和生理过程都是必不可少的。一些对运动员很重要的矿物质的生理作用包括:肌肉收缩、正常的心跳节律、神经冲动传导、氧气运输、氧化磷酸化、酶激活、免疫功能、抗氧化活性、骨骼健康以及血液的酸碱平衡。矿物质主要分为两大类:常量矿物质和微量元素。本文将重点介绍这些矿物质补充剂的功效及其在运动中的作用的理论依据。
