We evaluated serum Erythropoietin (Ep), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) during prolonged and strenuous exercis. The blood samples were collected fron 18 long-distance runnersand from 11 cross-country skiers, before and after a competition. Hb and Ht values decreased more in runners than in skiers, probably due to the footstrike hemolysis mechanism, stimulating kidney Ep overproduction.

Abstract
We evaluated serum Erythropoietin (Ep), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) during prolonged and strenuous exercis. The blood samples were collected fron 18 long-distance runnersand from 11 cross-country skiers, before and after a competition. Hb and Ht values decreased more in runners than in skiers, probably due to the footstrike hemolysis mechanism, stimulating kidney Ep overproduction.File in questo prodotto:
