Summary
This pilot study looks at why military personnel often have low iron levels during training. Six physically active adults will receive either erythropoietin or a placebo and then do a 90-minute loaded march. The goal is to find the best way to measure iron absorption after exercise and see if the hormone helps incorporate more iron into red blood cells.
