Nine semi-professional football players have been studied during a pre-championship retreat in a hilly area with their team. The nine athletes drank "Amorosa" oligo mineral water for three weeks and various haematochemical parameters (such as uricaemia, creatinemia, azotemia, sodium content) both before and after the retreat, have been evaluated. Furthermore, LDH and CPK were monitored before and after an exertion test on an exercise bicycle after hydropinic ingestion. The results obtained fully confirm the diuretic and cathartic properties of the water and its property of mobilization of hydroelectrolytic system which are even more useful in subjects needing a rapid elimination of metabolic wastes accumulated during muscle fatigue.
