Iron Exercise Performance Randomized TrialIron's role in oxygen transport, mitochondrial respiration, and energy metabolism is central and even in the absence of anemia, low iron stores may greatly affect physical performance.Despite this, iron deficiency is frequently overlooked as a potential cause of unexplained fatigue, reduced exercise capacity, and presyncope, which complicates the diagnostic evaluation of athletes.4McErlean Sarah M.E. (2026)Nonanemic Iron Deficiency
Iron Exercise Performance Randomized TrialNew physiological evidence suggests that the cutoffs should be closer to 50 μg/L, as that is when the gastrointestinal tract begins to increase iron absorption.4McErlean Sarah M.E. (2026)Nonanemic Iron Deficiency
