Background: Moderate intensified exercise causes leukocytosis due to increased trafficking of white blood cells
and also causes red blood cells damage (RBC) and hemolysis due to osmotic and mechanical stress.
Aim: This study was aimed to investigate the exercise induced changes in the haematological profile in sedentary
post pubertal boys and girls
Methodology: 40 participants (20boys, 20 girls) with sedentary behaviour in the age group of 16 to 25 were
selected from outpatient department of Thanjavur Medical College, for this study. Participants were asked to run
in treadmill at the speed of 3km per hour at 0% elevations for few minutes then progressive incremental treadmill
running with change in speed 1km per hour and elevations(1%) alternatively after each 2 mins for 20 mins.
Informed consent was taken from the participants.
This study was approved by human ethics Committee Thanjavur Medical College, Thanjavur.
Blood samples collected from sedentary post pubertal boys and girls before and immediately after exercise to assess
the hematological variation in Hemoglobin (Hb), White blood cells (wbc), Red blood cells (Rbc) and differential
count, and the results were statistically analysed using paired t –test.
Results: Post exercise Hb was significantly higher in post pubertal girls (10.69±1.20 g%) as compared to boys
(12.3±1.94 g%); p=0.029, p≤0.05. Also post exercise RBC showed significance with p value of 0.016 (p≤0.05) in
girls (4.20 ± 0.47 million/cumm) as compared to boys (4.67 ±0.70 million/cumm, p=0.261, p≥0.05). Leukocyte
count, lymphocyte, neutrophil increased significantly in both groups following exercise. Eosinophils increased
significantly in girls (3.20±1.15(%), (p=0.024, p≤0.05)) as compared to boys (3.20±0.95(%), (p=0.886, p≥0.05).
Conclusion: We conclude that post exercise Hb, RBC, Eosinophil showed significant rise in females as compared to
males. Leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes showed significance in both genders. Genders have insignificant
impact on exercise induced alteration of hematological profile except Hb, RBC and Eosinophils.
