This study was to investigate the effects on hematological indices in various intensity and duration of endurance training. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group, the low-intensity training group, the moderate-intensity training group, high-intensity training group, 1-week training group, 2-weeks training group, and 4-weeks training group(n=8 in each group). Animal of the training groups were put on endurance training 30 min per 1 day, 6 days per week for 1, 2, 4-weeks. Red blood cell count(RBC), hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(Hct), mean cell volume(MCV), mean hemoglobin corpuscular(MCH), mean hemoglobin corpuscular concentration(MCHC) were analyzed in automated hematology analyzer(ABX Hematology MICROS 60) from 10㎕ of whole blood. In the present results, RBC, Hg, Hct in the high-intensity training group was significantly increased compared with the different training intensity and training duration, in the moderate-intensity training group was significantly increased after 4-week training. In the high-intensity training group had significantly higher MCV than training 1-week and training 2-weeks after. MCH and MCHC in the high-intensity training group was significantly increase compared with the different training intensity and training duration after 1-week training. In the present study, it can be suggested that intensity and duration of endurance training can influence hematological variables. The specific intensity and duration of training are major importance in the adaptations of the blood hematology.
