This study aimed to detect changes in calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and chlorine levels in male and female footballers before, immediately after and 1 hour after aerobic exercise and to compare the mineral levels detected after the exercise by taking the gender into account. Method: Blood samples were taken before, immediately after and 1 hour after a 20-meter shuttle run test. Macro elements were detected by using the plasma emission spectroscopy method, and the significance level was accepted as P<0.05. Findings: A statistically significant difference was not observed in macro element levels in male and female footballers before, immediately after and 1 hour after the training. In females, the chlorine level in all three periods and the potassium level 1 hour after the training was found higher than males. Conclusion: It is thought that the duration of exercise does not cause a loss of liquid which may result in liquid imbalance; and the haemostatic balance which is strongly controlled by the body prevented the mineral levels from changing after the aerobic exercise.
