Abstract

 


This study was done to determine whether haematuria and proteinuria observed in the adult athletes due to physical activity occur in the young athletes. The urinary samples from 40 boxers joining the 1st European Stars Box Championship were examined before and after the matches. Haematuria was observed in all the athletes, and proteinuria occured in the 45% of the athletes following the matches whereas neither haematuria nor proteinuria was observed before matches. It was concluded that haematuria and proteinuria resulting from physical activity occur not only in the adult athletes but also young ones. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1996;3(3):200-202]
