ORIGINAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS

Nutritional survey of highly trained women runners

PA Deuster, SB Kyle, PB Moser, RA Vigersky, A Singh and EB Schoomaker

Mean daily intakes from 3-day dietary records for calories, energy- providing nutrients, and selected minerals were calculated for 51 highly trained women runners. Selected blood constituents relating to mineral status were also measured. Intakes of calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper were above the amounts recommended by the National Research Council whereas zinc intake was below the recommended dietary allowances (RDA). Caloric intakes, although above the RDA for sedentary women, appeared low for women running 10 miles/day. Concentrations of serum ferritin and plasma zinc were indicative of marginal iron and zinc status in many of the women. Whether the nutrient content of the diets consumed by these women is adequate relative to energy output or whether training lowers nutrient requirements by enhancing metabolic efficiency will require further investigation.
