Abstract

The optimization of the health of sportsmen requires taking into account their hematological parameters in biological follow-up. Unfortunately, this is not the case in most Cameroonian sports structures. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in leukocyte parameters induced by a training program based on specific handball exercises in a group of Cameroonian women’s handball. Twenty-nine volunteer female handball players, aged 24.75 ± 1.75 years, with a height of 1.65 ± 0.06 m, a weight of 64.47 ± 6.21 kg and a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 23.62 ± 2.46 kg/m² took part in this study. Their leucocyte formula was determined before and after a two weeks training program, consisting of specific handball exercises. A significant increase in the quantities of lymphocytes (1805.68 ± 503.69/µl vs 1982.21 ± 470.43/µl, p ˂ 0.05) was observed. With respective increases of 4.75% and 13.93%, neutrophils (1885.37 ± 554.78/µl vs 1975.10 ± 589.10 ± 84) and basophils (22.00 ± 10.32 /µl vs 25.00 ± 11.78/µl) showed no significant variation. Monocytes and eosinophils also showed no significant decrease at the end of the program, going from 289.07 ± 116.50/µl to 225.92 ± 114.77/µl and from 135.20 ± 82.64 /µl to 99.84 ± 65.98/µl respectively. These results suggest that the exercises to which the handball players were subjected and identical to those carried out during the competitions, led to modifications of the leukocyte count which could have a negative impact on the performance of these handball players in case if their biological follow-up is neglected.
