research it was aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin E and A
supplementation on some hematological parameters of exercising taekwondo
players. 21 healthy male elite taekwondo players were used as subjects.
Subjects were separated into three groups. 300 mg/d vitamin E was given to
vitamin E group, 100 mg/d vitamin A was given to vitamin A group and no vitamin
supplementation was given to control group for 6 weeks. Taekwondo exercise was
applied to all groups for 5 days per week during 6 weeks. Fatigue protocol was
applied to subjects two times as pre-supplementation and post- supplementation.
Blood samples from all groups were taken four times the 1 <sup>st </sup> and 6 <sup>th </sup> week before and after the exercise.  Some hematological (RBC (red blood cell), WBC (white blood cell), PLT (platelet), HGB <em> (hemoglobin) </em>, LYM ( <em>lymphocyte </em>), HCT (hematocrit), MCV (mean corpuscular
