Abstract

Exercise significantly increases blood flow and perfusion in active muscles to enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery. These enhanced demands affect blood rheology and red blood cell (RBC) characteristics, leading to specific adaptations. These adaptations are influenced by exercise type, intensity, frequency, duration, and individual characteristics of subject population (gender, age, nutritional status etc.). This review aims to comprehensively summarize the different adaptations of erythrocytes to short-term and long-term exercise, as well as the mechanisms of their occurrence, considering the influence of various factors. The results from the previous research indicate that regular exercise enhances the metabolic, structural, and functional capabilities of RBCs. These adaptations include improved energy balance, increased cell turnover rate, improved membrane stability, as well as better antioxidative defense. Despite potential risks such as "sports anemia", exercise also affects the dynamics of hemoglobin and iron concentrations, as well as the appearance of extracellular hemoglobin. Overall , the literature highlights the critical role of exercise in maintaining optimal erythrocyte function, improving circulation, and overall health, offering potential therapeutic benefits. Through a critical review of literature data on the influence of exercise on the characteristics and functions of erythrocytes, this paper can be a useful guideline for the interpretation of clinically significant results in physically active individuals .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
