The study was done in order to investigate the changes in hematological status related to iron and lipid metabolism, physical work capacity over a six-week period of training for male (N=6) and female (N=6) basketball athletes.
The hematological variables and the items of physical work capacity were tested three times (pre, mid, post) for each two week with the beginning of the training.
The results of a paired t-Test on this data were summarized as follows;
1. From the test of Basic Hematological Test, all items were not changed in male and female athletes.
2. The iron indices (SeFe^(++), TIBC, %TS) indicated that the stores of iron in the interior of the subject's body had decreased through the summer training.
3. The serum triglyceride decreased more than the total cholesterol, after six-week summer training.
4. In male athletes, the significant changes of All out time, Energy max and 9min-H.R response were observed, but in female athletes only the 3 min-HR response was significantly changed after three and six weeks.
5. VO₂ max, H.R max, 6 min-H.R response, Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure were not changed in both sexes.
