Complete Blood Count in Athletic and Nonathletic Persons

Abstract

The present study was conducted to have a clear integrative idea on the Complete Blood Count among adult athletic & nonathletic person.We conducted some Studies, such as; detection of Red blood cells(RBCs), Leukocytes (WBSs),Granulocyte(Gr#), Lymphocyte(Ly#), monocyte(Mo#) Granulocyte percentage (Gr), Lymphocyte percentage (Ly), monocyte percentage (Mo),Hemoglobin (Hgb),Hematocrit (Hct), Mean cell volume (MCV), Mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), Mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Red cell distribution width (RDW), Platelet count(Plt), and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), In comparison with the nonathletic. Materials & Methods: Using CBC parameters are based on the Beckman Coulter method of counting and sizing. Using two groups; athletic group, included forty healthy subjects (males mean age 22 years) of an athletic footballers went through a long-term exercise program; nonathletic subjects (forty males with mean age 23.5 years). Results & Conclusions: among the athletics it was noticed a significant increase in red blood cell (RBC) in comparison with non-athletic subjects with (P value < 0.0074) and Significant decrease in (WBSs)with (P value < 0.0075), Granulocyte (GR#) with (P value < 0.0354), Mean cell volume (MCV) with (P value < 0.005) , and, Mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)with (P value < 0.0004), in compression to their limits in non- athletics .
