Introduction: Cell blood count is a useful and important test to evaluate basal cell. It indicated that exercises alter blood composition and this alternation affected health and performance. There was few study about effect of long term exercise training on hematological blood markers in sedentary populations. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of aerobic, resistance and concurrent training on hematological blood markers in sedentary men.
Methodology: Thirty-one men participated to this study that were randomized in aerobic (n=11), resistance (n=10) and concurrent (n=10) training groups. At baseline and after the intervention, subjects were submitted to a blood sample to determine their hematological markers include RBC, WBC, Hct, Hg, MCH, MCHC, MCV, RDW and PLT. Aerobic training included 30-50 min cycling on ergometer at 70-80% maximal heart rate. Resistance training consists of 7 exercise with 2-3 sets of 8 repetitions at 70-80% of 10-RM in each exercise. Concurrent training was consist of performing half of both aerobic and resistance training. Training program conducted for 10 weeks and 3 sessions per week.
Results: Finding indicated that only PLT count in aerobic group and RDW in concurrent group significantly decreased (p<0.05). Whereas, training conducted do not have any effects on other variables measured (p>0.05).
Discussion: On base this finding 10-weeks aerobic, resistance and concurrent training in healthy obese individuals have niether beneficial nor deleterious effects on hematological blood parameters. Similar to this study, 6-month resistance and 8-weeks aerobic training no beneficial nor deleterious effects on hematological blood parameters. It seems that parameters were within the limitation of the normal before intervention and the low sample size was small, are cause of no produce significant effects training.
