| Abstract | Toxic metals can impair essential functions. Therefore, the objectives of the study are to know the intraerythrocytic concentrations of toxic elements arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) and check for different concentrations of these elements in erythrocytes in relation to physical activity. For it we had a total of 106 subjects separate into three groups: 32 to the group of highly trained, 34 to the trained group and 40 to the sedentary group, from Caceres. All subjects performed an assessment of cardiovascular fitness (VO2max), blood sampling and determination of mineral elements by ICP-MS. As concentration, was lower in CG (p<0.01) and MTG (p<0.01) than HTG. Cd (p<0.001) and Pb (p<0.05) concentrations were higher in CG than HTG. All results were expressed in pg/g Hb. We can conclude that high physical training produces a decrease in erythrocyte concentration of Cd and Pb but a high level of As. For this reason, we recommend an erythrocyte control at the beginning of the training period and during the training period to avoid harmful deficits. |
