This study investigated the The effect of eight weeks of resistance training and glutamine supplementation on some hematological factors and maximum strength of male athletes. For this purpose For this purpose 24 men at Mashhad were selected on a voluntary basis and according to research requirements through recall informed of the study, that were placed in three groups of eight persons including Control group and placebo group and glutamine group. Resistance training included: 8 moves, 3 sets, 8 to 10 repetitions, with 60% intensity, one maximum repetition and more than 75% incremental. Subjects consumed their supplement and medication 3 days a week. Statistical analysis of the data using the software SPSS version 21 was carried out by Repeated measures and Tukey test at the significant level P>0/05. The findings indicated a significant increase in neutrophil levels, blood lymphocyte and maximal power through resistance training and glutamine consumption, but Resistance training alone could not make significant changes in the factors. Therefore, it is recommended that the coaches, along with the setting of a resistance training program for athletes, also use glutamine supplementation to enhance the ability to exercise, by increasing some of the blood factors leading to the improvement and strengthening of the immune system.
