This study aimed to evaluate the hematological factors and iron status in aerobic versus anaerobic training in athletic females.
In both the short and long term, physical training causes iron status deterioration in sporty females. Nonetheless, little is known about the effect of different forms of exercise (aerobic versus anaerobic) on haematological variables and iron status in sporty females during adolescence. As a result, the purpose of this study was to compare the haematological variables and iron status in aerobic versus anaerobic exercise in adolescent female athletes. Another goal was to compare aerobic and anaerobic groups in terms of iron status classifications, such as normal iron status, iron deficiency with or without anaemia.

| evaluating blood levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, serum transferrin and serum ferritin. | Other | evaluating blood levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, serum transferrin and serum ferritin. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of hemoglobin (Hb) | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. An automatic cell counter (Sysmex XS 1000, Japan) was used to measure hemoglobin (Hb). | 2 months |
| Assessment of hematocrit (Hct) | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. An automatic cell counter (Sysmex XS 1000, Japan) was used to measure hematocrit (Hct). | 2 months |
| Assessment of red blood cell (RBC) count | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. An automatic cell counter (Sysmex XS 1000, Japan) was used to measure red blood cell (RBC) count. | 2 months |
| Assessment of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. An automatic cell counter (Sysmex XS 1000, Japan) was used to measure mean corpuscular volume (MCV). | 2 months |
| Assessment of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropometric measures | A weight-height scale was used to assess the weight (Kg) and height (m) for each female athlete in the two groups. The body mass index (BMI) was then calculated by dividing the weight by the height squared (Kg/m2). | 2 months |
| Assessment of participation age to sport |

| Assessment of serum transferrin | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. The serum sample was centrifuged, and the serum transferrin was measured using COBAS Integra 400 plus, Switzerland. | 2 months |
| Assessment of serum ferritin | Blood samples were collected between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast and time of relaxation. The athletic girls were asked to refrain from exercising the day before sample. Blood was taken from the antecubital vein and placed in one EDTA tube and one beads tube for serum separation. The serum sample was centrifuged, and the serum ferritin was measured using ADVIA Centaur XPT, Germany. | 2 months |
Each female athlete was asked about her age of participation to sport to assess her training profile. |
| 2 months |
| Assessment of number of hours of training per week | Each female athlete was asked about the number of hours of training per week to assess her training profile. | 2 months |
| Assessment of training experience | The training experience in years was calculated by subtracting the female athlete's age of participation to training from her chronological age. | 2 months |
