HAEMATOLOGICAL CORRELATES OF WORK CAPACITY

Dr. D. L. Vidya, Dr. D. Manikyamba

Abstract :

 Objective: The endeavor of this study is to quantify the work capacity of adolescents in terms of their haemoglobin levels. Methods: This is a cross–sectional interventional study. Blood haemoglobin levels of 50 first year medical students were estimated. Subjects exercised on bicycle ergometer with incremental loads and their Work capacities were calculated. Their blood lactate and pulse rates were recorded before and after exercise. Results: There is a positive correlation of blood haemoglobin levels of both male and female subjects with their work capacities. Pulse rate and blood lactate responses to exercise of both sexes with lower ranges of haemoglobin concentrations were comparatively higher than those with higher ranges of haemoglobin concentrations. Conclusion: Correlation between haemoglobin concentration and work capacity (in both the sexes) was established.
