Iron deficiency trended towards negatively affecting strength performance by up to 13%, with impairments in strength and power predicted to increase with greater differences in sFer. The full article is now available in Nutrients. https://t.co/uO7g66kU1w

The effect of heightened iron status on physical performance measures was highly variable in AFLW players, iron entertains a variety of roles facilitating sports performance, .. thereby necessitating that interventions are promptly administered to ID and functionally ID athletes.

Given the homogeneity in iron status among the players, a binary threshold segregating iron-deficient and iron-sufficient athletes may be insufficient to detect performance discrepancies when <95% of players presented with suboptimal iron stores. https://t.co/vNkKxuXTFz
