Abstract
Thirteen conditioned athletes were studied before and 5 min after running 10,000 m. This distance was run in an average of 41±4 min. All runners lost weight and accompanying this weight loss was an increase in the serum osmolality in the six runners in which it was measured. There was a significant increase in serum glucose (96±11 mg-% before run; 170±48 mg-% after run) and this increase was inversely correlated with running time. There was also a small, but significant, increase in serum insulin (15±2 ΜU/ml before run; 19±4 ΜU/ml after run). There was no consistent effect of running 10,000 m on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and on plasma lipoprotein electrophoresis patterns.
