Analysis of platelet count among female athletes of volleyball, judo, and football: a comparative study

Abstract

Background and Study Aim: Hematological investigation plays a meaningful role in determining the physical standard and performance of the athletes in various games. It is a measure for an athlete’s health and physical gesture. The present study portrays the platelet count analysis of university-level female athletes playing volleyball, judo, and football respectively.
 Material and Methods: 54 female athletes (18 from each game) were selected for the study. The platelet count relationship was the criterion for the present study to differentiate the physical standards of the female players among three different games. To obtain the statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA and posthoc Tukey’s HSD test were used to set the significance level of p < 0.05.
 Results: We found the present results displayed the platelet counts of the players participating in Judo are comparatively higher as compared to football and volleyball.
 Conclusions: It was observed that there was no correlation between platelet counts between the players participating in three games. No relationship exists between the players from different games concerning their platelet counts. No significant correlation between the three games existed pair-wise individually for comparative statistical analysis as their p > 0.05.

Comparative characteristics of the young football players of different game roles technical and physical fitness at the specialized basic training stage

“…And for this you need to know exactly what physical qualities and technical skills prevail in players of certain game roles. After all, it is known that when a child does something to which he is more inclined according to his genetic predisposition, the probability of success is much greater than in the case when a child does something to which he is inclined to a lesser degree [17,18]. And players of different game roles often have very large differences, in particular, in basketball and volleyball, the team combines players with such different anthropometric data that they represent people with different biomechanical and physiological characteristics [1,2].…”
