Resumo

Introdução: A hierarquia e os indicadores hematológicos são essenciais para avaliar a saúde geral e a aptidão física, especialmente em atletas do sexo feminino. A falta de estudos centrais com atletas de elite na Albânia torna necessária a realização de investigações localizadas que permitam um acompanhamento eficaz do seu estado científico e estratégias de intervenção adequadas.

Objectivo: O objectivo deste estudo é avaliar o estado hematológico e hierárquico dos atletas de elite na Albânia, identificando deficiências prevalentes e possíveis causas subjacentes, como inflamação, desidratação ou factores nutricionais específicos.

Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo transversal descritivo com 33 atletas de elite na Albânia. Serão colhidas amostras de sangue em clínicas durante o período menstrual, evitando-se o exercício físico 24 horas antes. Serão analisados ​​​​hemoglobina, sangue sérico, hematócrito e contagem de eritrócitos. As médias são comparadas com valores de referência que não são independentes. O nível de significância estatística é estável em p < 0,05.

Resultados: A análise revelou baixos níveis de hemoglobina e gravidade na maioria das atletas, que são suscetíveis de anemia. As causas podem incluir deficiência alimentar, perda menstrual ou sobrecarga física. Em alguns casos, os níveis elevados podem refletir inflamação ou hemoconcentração associadas a um treino intenso.

Conclusões: Foram identificadas alterações hematológicas relevantes nos atletas avaliados. Recomenda-se a implementação de monitorização regular, estratégias nutricionais individualizadas e investigações longitudinais para otimizar a saúde e o desempenho dos atletas de elite.
