“…Therefore, study of hair in order to identify the balance of micro-and macro-elements in the body along with studies of blood, plasma, and urine has got significantly more and more interest in recent years (Gordon, 1985;Paschal et al, 1989;Contiero, Folin, 1994;Kuangfei et al, 1999). The available data certainly indicate that the balance of elements in hair reflects the micro-, macro-elements status of the whole body and hair samples are integral indicator of mineral metabolism (Noguchi et al, 2011;Mikuliewicz et al, 2013).…”

Summary Athletes feel greater need for macro-and microelements as, due to great training loads, the body loses salts. Normal course of vital processes is often hindered not only by the lack of minerals into two groups. The first (I) group (male, n=17) consisted of Greco-Roman wrestlers. The second group (II) (women, n=9) -volleyball players. Control groups consisted of 25 students. The first (I) control group (men, n=15) and second (II) control group (women, n=10) consisted of students, who were not involved in sports activities. For establishing the concentration of macro-and microelements in hair, x-ray fluorescence method was applied using CEP-1 ELVAX (MP.MN 3730-2011) device. X-ray fluorescence method is a perspective and informative way for establishing concentration of macro-and
