TI  - Development of "sports anemia" in physically fit men after daily sustained 
      submaximal exercise.
PG  - 41-5
AB  - Hematological changes were studied in physically fit young soldiers who marched 
      35 km/d for 6 d, working at 35% of their Vo2 max. Four days of marching produced 
      decreases in numbers of erythrocytes (RBC) and in hematocrit (Hct). This "sports 
      anemia" persisted beyond day 6 into the post-march period and was accompanied by 
      decreases in hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). The latter 
      decrease was attributed to a preferential destruction of large RBC. The 
      post-march period was characterized by an early (2 d) recovery of RBC numbers, 
      Hct, and MCV, and a persistent (greater than 4 d) decrease in Hb, MCH, and MCHC. 
      This pattern, characteristic of hypochromic macrocystosis, possibly reflects a 
      premature release of young RBC from the bone marrow. Clearly, "Sports anemia," 
      previously reported to occur with intensive physical exercise, can also result 
      from sustained and repetitive submaximal exercise.
