Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of formed elements(RBC, Hb, WBC, WBC subsets) and hematocrit of blood according to the gender of the intellectual disabilities. Fourteen mentally retarded males(n=7) and females(n=7) participated in this study. All subjects were classified as a light and moderate mental retardation(mean IQ 48.0±3.63). All subjects performed low intensity submaximal exercise(75%HRmax) by treadmill during 30minutes. Blood sample was obtained at rest, immediately after exercise and 60minute later after immediately exercise. No significant interaction effects(group×time of measurement) were observed for RBC, Hb, HCT. Between-group analysis of each group reveals that RBC, Hb, HCT value of the male were significantly higher than the female at all measurement point. No group×time interaction for WBC was determined. Between-group analysis of each group reveals that WBC was significantly increased after immediately exercise and returned baseline level after 60minutes recovery period. The group×time interaction effect for neutrophil and lymphocyte did not reach significance but there was a trend toward a difference.
