Can a shuttle run shift key blood nutrients? study tests the question
NCT ID NCT07826598
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Inonu University are studying how a single session of aerobic exercise changes levels of ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, and parathyroid hormone in professional soccer players. Forty male players will complete a progressive 20-meter shuttle run test. Blood samples taken before and after the run will show whether these markers shift immediately after intense exercise.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 20-meter shuttle run test
- What this could lead to
- If the study finds clear shifts in these blood markers, it could help coaches and doctors understand how intense aerobic exercise affects nutrient and hormone levels in athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study of 40 professional male soccer players, so the results may not apply to other athletes, women, or non-athletes. The study only measures immediate changes after one exercise session, not long-term effects.
