Abstract EN
Assessment of hematological parameters is common in sports medicine.
Although physical exercise is an important preanalytical variable, data about acute hematological changes after high-intensity intermittent exercise are scarce.
This study aimed to examine floorball as a potential preanalytical variable for hematological parameters used in health assessment and antidoping testing.
Twenty-three professional male floorball players participated in a floorball game.
Hematological parameters including hemoglobin, erythrocyte count and erythrocyte indices, reticulocytes, white blood cells (WBC), platelets, reticulocytes, and OFF-hr score were assessed at baseline, immediately postgame, and at 2 h postgame.
Median hemoglobin concentration decreased significantly from 146 g/L pregame to 141 g/L immediately postgame (p<0.001).
WBC count increased from 7.2 × 109/L pregame to 10.1 × 109/L 2 h postgame (p<0.001).
The median OFF-hr score decreased from 99.5 to 94.2 immediately postgame and remained significantly lower than baseline at 2 h postgame (94.4, p=0.030).
Looking at individual results, the highest OFF-hr score increased from 120 at baseline to 124 at 2 h postgame.
Our findings suggest that participation in a floorball game affects several hematological parameters and consequently can affect health assessment and antidoping testing.
