Bicycle ergometry was used to show the possibility of intensifying the physical working capacity of patients with iron-deficiency anemia, of mild and moderate degree, who had not been treated with iron compounds before, under the influence of a 3-4-day course of ferrotherapy. This improvement could not be explained by elevation of the hemoglobin level or by changes in the state of the cardiovascular system.
