 It is well known that the way and intensity of training of amateur athletes is similar to that of professional athletes. And we have already reported that the relationship between sports and anemia, finding that high school boy students who belonged to sports club were in the iron deficiency state.
 In this study, we examined hematological tests and iron metabolism of junior high school athletes comparing with that of high school athletes. In results, junior high school atheltes had severe tendency of iron deficiency state than high school athletes. It is because that junior high school students have great need of nuturition for their growth more than high school students, we guess.
