Investigation of trace elements in hair of athletes by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis
- 1. Inst. of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica (China)
Description
Trace elements Fe, Zn and Ca in hair samples taken from four athletes have been determined by using SR X-ray fluorescence analysis technique. Each sample is scanned point by point at 1.5 mm of interval, which corresponds to 5 days of hair growth. Preliminary results show that the change of iron content in hair is related to exercise capacity of athletes, but no observable change is found for Zn and Ca content. It is verified that sport is one of the causes leading to iron deficiency of athletes
