Description
Summary:The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of regular physical education lessons on red blood cell (RBC). hemoglobin (Hb). hematocrit (Hct). mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)and mean corpuscular Volume (MCV). Thirty-two elementary students at a mean age of 10.98 years were assigned to either experimental group or control group. The experimental group participated in two physical education lessons per week for ten weeks All subjects were pre- and post-tested for RBC, Hb, Hct, MCH and MCV. Paired t-test revealed no significant statistical differences From pre to post participation in both groups for all blood variables. Also. no significant differences were found between the two groups in all blood variables. These results suggest that regular physical education lessons had no significant effect on the selected blood variables.
