Complete Blood Count in Athletic and Nonathletic Persons

Abstract

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 nonathletics
.
