Changes in hematological indexes of soldiers before and after 3 km running in basic training period

Objective The physical function of soldiers in basic military training period was investigated to put forward correct thought on carrying out training scheme.Methods Thirty-two recruits aged(18.96±1.23)years,were selected randomly.Venous blood was drawn in the morning and five minutes after 3 km running.The hematological indexes including WBC,HB,RBC,HCT,MCV,MCH,MCHC and RDW were analyzed with whole blood cytoanalyzer.Results The hematological indexes in the morning were within reference value range except that MCH and MCHC were under reference value limit.After running,the values of WBC and HCT were higher and the value of MCH lower significantly different(P0.01)from the morning value.Conclusions The recruits'physical function should be monitored,3 km running stimulate the physical function strongly and the high intensity training should be avoided after running.
