Magnesium and strength in elite Judo athletes

September 25, 2010

I’m a big proponent of magnesium so when I came upon this recent study I thought I’d post it for all my elite judo readers out there. As Mg losses can be considerable and intake is frequently insufficient, athletes should consider supplementation, especially during periods of weight reduction. Anyway, you can read the study here.
