The Impact of One Aerobic and Resistance Training Session on Some Hematological Responses of Non- Athlete Women

This study aimed to investigate the impact of one aerobic and resistance training session on platelet count, mean platelet volume, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), and blood clots in non-athletic women. The sample consisted of 45 non-athlete3045 years old women in Ilam; they were randomly divided into three groups of 15 subjects: two experimental groups (resistance exercise group and aerobic exercise group) and one control group. The resistance training and aerobic training were conducted in one session for 60 minutes. The blood samples were collected in two stages (before exercise and immediately after exercise) to measure platelet count, mean platelet volume, PT, APTT, and blood clots. The independent T-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) were used for analyzing the data. The findings showed that after one aerobic and resistance training session, the platelet count and mean platelet volume was significantly increased in both of the experimental groups.Both groups showed a significant decrease in PT. The resistance training group showed a significant increase in APTT; while, it had a significant reduction in aerobic group. The blood clots were significantly reduced in the resistance training group. The results suggested that one resistance training and aerobic training session stimulated theclotting system of non-athlete women.
