Radioiodine absorption by the thyroid gland after prolonged physical exercise (3000 m race) was studied in 16 athletes, aged 20 to 24 years. Two hours after administration of the isotope the level of its accumulation in the gland was halved. In 24 and 72 hours the content of radioiodine in the gland was higher than in experimental conditions without physical exercise. The phenomenon described evidently reflects the normal reaction of the thyroid gland of athletes to habitual physical exercise. (auth)
