Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the difference in leucocyte count before and after exercise in athletes. Methods & Materials: This study was conducted by selecting twenty healthy athletes within the age group of 18-24 years. They were exposed to regular running for atleast 3 years prior to this study. Procedure was explained to them. Before starting the procedure they were advised to take rest for 1 hour. As to start the procedure heart rate and blood pressure were checked and blood samples were taken to estimate the total leukocyte count and differential leukocyte count. After taking the sample the subjects were instructed to run for 20 minutes. After stopping the running again the blood samples were taken for same parameter. For estimation of total leukocyte count Turk’s fluid was used and for differential leukocyte count the smear was stained with Leishman’s stain. Results: P value of <0.001 was considered as statistically significant. Conclusion: Leukocyte counts will increase after exercise in athletes.
