Effect of 5000 m run in some blood and urine components for long distances runners

Abstract

The effects of 5000 m run in some blood and urine components for long distances runners have been studied in seven (7) runners of Nineveh track and field team .The research procedures include measured some blood components (Hemoglobin (Hb), White blood cells (WBC), and Packed Cells Volume ( PCV)) and urine components (Red blood cells (RBC) and ketone bodies before and after 5000 m run in ambient temperature between (20 – 22°). The research has concluded significant increase in White blood cells (WBC), significant decrease in Packed Cells Volume ( PCV), and no changed in Hemoglobin (Hb) in blood, and Red blood cells (RBC) and ketone bodies in urine for long distances runners.
