AB  - BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 
      exercise on aerobic power and hematological profile among trained school-going 
      boys in an environment with similar climatic characteristics but different 
      concentrations of air pollutants. METHODS: This trial comprised 40 school-going 
      trained boys (age range 14-16 years) from West Bengal, India. Two places with 
      similar climatic conditions (altitude, temperature, and humidity), but low and 
      high concentrations of air pollutants were selected. Height and weight of all the 
      participants were measured. Participants underwent a shuttle run test for 
      assessment of aerobic capacity (VO(2max)) in both areas after a 1-week gap. 
      Venous blood sample was drawn from the cubital vein immediately after completion 
      of the shuttle run test and red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) 
      count, packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular 
      volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were 
      determined by standard methods. Measured parameters were compared between the two 
      areas. RESULTS: Compared with the area having low pollution levels, we obtained 
      significantly lower value in mean VO(2max), RBC count, Hb, PCV, and MCHC, but 
      significantly higher value in WBC count and MCV in the area with high pollution 
      levels. Performing exercise in high-polluted air may lead to a significant 
      reduction in the performance level of school-going trained boys. CONCLUSION: The 
      study findings suggest that air pollution could have negative effects on the 
      hematological profile of boys and longitudinal studies may be carried out for 
      assessing its clinical importance.
