Abstract
Purpose. To study the features of potassium metabolism in young athletes based on the analysis of its concentration in biological substrates.Material and methods. The study involved 123 children aged 12 to 17 years. Four groups were formed: control (n=26), swimmers (n=33), hockey players (n=45), fencers (n=19). Samples were studied using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Saliva and hair were used as substrates for analysis.Results. As a result of our study, it was found that in the control group, the content of potassium in saliva was significantly higher than in young athletes of all groups (p<0.001). At the same time, it was also shown that the content of potassium in the hair of people professionally involved in sports is significantly higher than that of the control group (p><0.01). The use of correlation analysis made it possible to identify a negative statistically significant relationship between the indicators of potassium concentrations in saliva and in hair (R=–0.72; p><0.001). Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the formation of potassium content in saliva and hair are probably related and may reflect the peculiarities of mineral metabolism processes in young athletes. Further research is needed to determine the mechanisms of mineral metabolism in young athletes.

At the same time, it was also shown that the content of potassium in the hair of people professionally involved in sports is significantly higher than that of the control group (p˂0.01). The use of correlation analysis made it possible to identify a negative statistically significant relationship between the indicators of potassium concentrations in saliva and in hair (R=–0.72; p˂0.001).Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the formation of potassium content in saliva and hair are probably related and may reflect the peculiarities of mineral metabolism processes in young athletes. Further research is needed to determine the mechanisms of mineral metabolism in young athletes.
