Assessment of Urinary Potassium Concentration Among Saudi Young Soccer Players

Abstract: Purpose: to assess urinary potassium concentration level among young professional Saudi soccer players. Method: a cross sectional study design, conducted during the official Saudi Soccer League. A total of 43 players from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia participated in this study. Age, weight, height, body fat % and three spot urinary samples were collected during one day of training. These three spots were collected during one of normal training day. Samples were analyzed and calculated of three spot urine, subsequently mean of potassium was used to report the concentration in that day. A descriptive data analysis were used. Result: the current study found that soccer players had an optimal urinary potassium concentration (64.3 ± 23.7) mEq/L. Conclusion: more measurements regarding electrolytes in the urine of soccer players are needed, especially for days to ensure more assessment in the hot weather. In addition, Saudi soccer players and medical teams in the clubs should consider electrolytes concentrations during the season and during training and competition days.
