Abstract:

This study was conducted to compare the blood hematological levels of athletes who had done sports at least for five years and who had come from different branches and sedentary college students. The study covered 54 athlete college students and 54 sedentary college students, all of whom were volunteers. After the subjects were a briefed on tests, blood samples and physical measurements were taken in the laboratory between 09-10 in the morning. Using a 5 ml of blood sample from forearm vein, WBC, Lymph, Mid, Gran, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCHC, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, PLT, MPV, PDW and PCT levels were determined. Independent sample t test was used to analize the values of groups. Level of significance was p<0.05. There seemed statistically significant differences in body weight, body mass index, Lymph, Mid, Gran, Lymph%, Mid%, Gran%, Erythrocyte Count RBC, HGB, HCT, MCHC, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, PLT and MPV between athletes and sedentars while no diffrenece in WBC, MCH, PDW and PCT levels. As a result, we believe that the positive difference in athletes’ blood cells levels when compared with sedantar people’s stemmed from the level of physical activity
