Abstract:
Iron deficiency is estimated to be the most common cause of anemia worldwide. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary supplement ADAM (olive oil, vinegar and sodium chloride) and traditional iron salts, together with physical activity on anemic female students. Our study consists of forty anemic female students divided into four equal groups, ten students in each group; 1st group ingested ADAM with exercise, 2nd group ingested ADAM without exercise, 3rd group supplemented with traditional iron salts with exercise, 4th group supplemented with traditional iron salts without exercise. Blood samples were drawn (5ml) for analysis of hemoglobin by spectrophotometer, iron, total iron binding capacity and ferritin by Radioimmunoassay, O2 using gas analyzer. The variables exerted VO2max using Harvard step test, heart rate by pulse meter, fitness index by equation; the variables were detected (pre-post) training program. Results: The results indicated a positive result for ADAM with physical activity compared with ADAM alone, also iron with physical activity variables overcome the variables of iron salts alone while, ADAM with physical activity variables exceed iron salts with physical activity. Conclusion: using physical activity with ADAM, induces a positive result in curing female anemic students from traces of underground water.
