Resumen
An alternate methodology based on a portable
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (PXRFS) for determination of
Fe in blood was evaluated. The iron concentrations was
determined in whole blood of 18 male amateur athletes (runners)
using this portable XRF spectrometer and compared with
a control group (54 male donors at the same age but not
involved with physical activities) obtained by XRF and NAA
techniques. The Fe concentration in the blood of runners is an
important factor in sports medicine contributing to the performance
of endurance athletes as well as for proposing new
protocols of clinical evaluation.
