Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is thought to play an essential role in physical strength because it catalyzes more than 300 enzymatic reactions involved in energy metabolism and cell growth. Magnesium also aids in the hydrolysis of ATP in glycolysis, acting as a coenzyme in three critical reactions and in crossbridge formation in the muscle contraction cycle. Despite these roles, approximately 60% of the US adult population does not meet the RDA for Mg. Previous studies found inconsistent results on the effects of Mg on physical performance. However, most studies agreed on magnesium's potential as an ergogenic aid.
