铁是人体必需的微量营养素,在机体的氧化供能代谢中起着重要的作用。近年来大量研究数据显示,除贫血外,铁缺乏也会影响体内氧的运输和组织有氧能量代谢水平,表现为最大摄氧量下降、耐力下降、自主活动减少、劳动能力下降等。本文综述了缺铁性贫血和铁缺乏对体能以及劳动能力的影响,同时探讨了体能和劳动能力的研究方法。 Iron is an essential micronutrient that plays an important role in the body’s oxidative energy metabolism. In recent years, a large number of research data show that, in addition to anemia, iron deficiency can also affect the body’s oxygen transport and tissue aerobic energy metabolism, manifested as decreased maximum oxygen uptake, decreased endurance, reduced voluntary activity, decreased ability to work. This article reviews the effects of iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency on physical fitness and ability to work, and explores methods for studying physical fitness and working ability.
