The effect of power training on some blood rheological factors in active young women

Introduction and The aim of this study، determine effect of power training on some blood rheological factors in active young women. Sixteen active young women voluntarily participated in this study and randomly divided into two groups: Experimental (n: 8) and Control (n: 8) groups. The experimental group performed RAST anaerobic power test. Blood sample were taken just before، after test and two hours after recovery. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with repeated measures and LSD post hoc tests. The result indicated that، hematocrit and hemoglobin were significantly increased immediately after test and significantly decreased after two hours. Significant reduction in the number of red blood cells immediately after the test، and two hours later، there was a significant increase. Plasma volume decreased immediately after the test and significantly increased after two hours. Despite these changes، fibrinogen، and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were not significant in any of the two modes. The results of this study showed that the rheological changes RAST test is unstable and run the test for active people rheological changes will not cause problems.
