Abstract

The main goal of the research was to make adequate planning of sports nutrition in terms of manner, type and amount of intake of magnesium-rich nutrients in order to prevent and treat the conditions of magnesium deficiency (exhaustion, fatigue, weakness) among athletes. At the sports medical ambulance in Struga, in 2018 a total of 53 patients from 2025 examined athletes were diagnosed with fatigue, exhaustion and weakness, after several additional diagnostic tests (laboratory-electrolyte status, neurological examination, ECG) and have been reported as conditions of changes exclusively in the mineral-electrolytic hydration status- hypomagnesaemia. Based on the current scientific knowledge, athletes (patients) were treated nutritionally for 4 weeks. The athletes continued physical activity with the same planned training process in terms of intensity and duration but in cases where there was an expressed clinical symptomatology (prolonged weakness and exhaustion), our suggested level of physical activity decreased to the lowest possible level. In the end, after 4 weeks of planned sports nutrition, all athletes achieved good results from nutritional therapy.
