Abstract:: Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate a potential correlation between magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) values in males and females before and after workloads. Materials and methods: 97 male and 136 female healthy participants underwent an 8-minute ergometric workload of 80 watts (w). Capillary blood samples to determine ionized K and Mg before and after the test were taken. Results: Significant positive linear correlations between Mg++ and K+ values in blood seem to exist only in groups with very low Mg++ values. This may or may not be gender dependent. Conclusion: In all cases where a magnesium substitution is necessary (athletes, patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and arrhythmia etc.) an additional K-substitution should be considered.
