Recent, more sensitive measures of iron status indicate a prevalence of iron deficiency, with or without anemia, among young women, children, and adolescent males participating in strenuous physical activity. Anemia primarily restricts brief, intense exercise; whereas iron deficiency limits performance of endurance activities. The impact of iron deficiency on oxidative capacity of muscle, protein synthesis, growth, behavior, and body temperature regulation are reviewed. The widespread effects of iron deficiency warrant closer attention to the iron status of athletes and the practice of dietary iron supplementation in the intervention and prevention of iron deficiency.

最近，更敏感的铁状态测量表明，在进行剧烈体力活动的年轻女性、儿童和青少年男性中，存在铁缺乏症，无论是否伴有贫血。贫血主要限制了短暂、剧烈的运动；而铁缺乏则限制了耐力活动的表现。本文回顾了铁缺乏症对肌肉氧化能力、蛋白质合成、生长、行为和体温调节的影响。铁缺乏症的广泛影响需要更密切关注运动员的铁状态，并在干预和预防铁缺乏症时实践膳食铁补充。《矫形与运动物理治疗杂志》1986 年；7（4）：192-195。
