In this study, sulfur levels were investigated in blood of judo athletes using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. Twenty athletes participated of this study. Two groups of athletes were selected: judo with a balanced diet with multivitamin/mineral supplements consumption and judo with diet not controlled. These data were compared with the control group (subjects of the same age but not involved with physical activities). There was a significant increase of S levels in athletes with diet not controlled. These data can be useful to a well-planned nutritional proposition that can contribute to better performance of athletes.1-4openAccessphysiologymetabolismbiological indicatorshuman populationsinterest groupsquantitative chemical analysissulfurnutritionbloodtestingx-ray fluorescence analysisArtigo de periódico129110.1088/1742-6596/1291/1/012011https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7766-2692Sem Percentil17.00
