The hemoglobin level was measured by the sianmethemoglobin method and VO2 max was measured by the multistage fitness test method. Relations between variables using the Pearson Product Moment and Rank Spearman correlation test. Results : 60% of subjects consumed Fe were less, 66.7% had anemia and all subjects had low VO2 max.
