    Strenuous hiking significantly lowers serum magnesium (S-Mg) levels, indicating a potential magnesium deficiency. This effect persists for at least three months post-exertion, even after initial recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Nutritional Biochemistry
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Serum magnesium concentration (S-Mg) plays a crucial role in various physiological processes.
    • Strenuous physical activity is known to influence electrolyte balance.
    • Previous studies suggest a decrease in S-Mg following intense exercise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the longitudinal changes in serum magnesium concentration after a 120 km hike in highly trained young men.
    • To determine if strenuous exertion leads to a persistent magnesium deficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum magnesium (S-Mg) levels were measured in 20 young men before, and at 1, 24, 72 hours, and 3 months after a 120 km hike.
    • Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity was assessed to evaluate muscle damage.

  • Statistical analysis (Student's t-test) was employed to determine significant changes in S-Mg.

    • Main Results:

    • S-Mg significantly decreased immediately after the 120 km hike.
    • A transient increase in S-Mg was observed at 24 hours, coinciding with elevated CK levels, suggesting muscle membrane disruption.
    • S-Mg remained significantly lower than baseline at 72 hours and persisted at a reduced level 3 months post-hike.

    Conclusions:

    • A 120 km hike induces a biphasic alteration in serum magnesium, with a significant and prolonged decrease.
    • The persistent lowering of S-Mg suggests that strenuous exertion can lead to a magnesium deficiency.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the long-term implications of exercise-induced magnesium deficiency.
