The purpose of the study to
determine anthropometric and hematological profile of some selected Ethiopian
premier league male soccer players according to playing position. Descriptive
cross-sectional study was employed on
purposely selected twenty eighty premier league soccer players from (14)
Sidama Coffee and from (14) Hawassa Town soccer club from all positions (GK,
DF, MD, SK). Anthropometric, physiological performance and seventeen
hematological parameters (WBC, RBC, Lymph, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT,
RDW-CV, RDW-SD, PLT, MPV, PDW, PCT, P-LCC, and P-LCR) were measured. The
obtained quantitative data was analyzed by one
way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (p<0.05) with the help of SPSS version 20.00 software. The study found mean scores of anthropometric,
performance and hematological parameter among soccer players. Further a
statistically significant change was observed is only WBC, RBC and MCH
hematological variables were observed when compared among the different playing
positions (Goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers). It was concluded
that there is no significant difference in anthropometric, physiological and hematological
variables except (WBC, RBC and MCH) soccer players between playing position,
although the values of the measured hematological parameters fell within the
reference range. Regular monitoring of the hematological parameters is
fundamental for the identification of a health status and related optimal
performances by sport medicine specialist, nutritionist, trainers and selection
of adequate training intensity by trainers. From a practical point of view, the
clinician has to take into account not only age, but also training status of
individuals when evaluating their blood tests.
