Abstract
Nearly 19% of the study subjects had mild anemia at recruitment, and depletion of iron stores was observed among 18%. Overall, these changes were not accompanied by a significant increase in soluble TfR. This high prevalence is most likely the result of “sports anemia” due to the intense physical training regimen adopted prior to their recruitment.
