The data about losses of macro- and trace elements during sports activity are incomplete and recommendations are contradictory. It seems that if energy intake is sufficient and nutritional status is in normal limits such mineral supplements is not warranted. Stable isotopes can play a unique role in studies of nutritional status, metabolism, absorption rates, and bioavailability of macro- and microelements.
