| Description | Health-testing examination data of 91 male and 54 female athletes were studied, together with age-matched controls, on serum biochemistry, ECG findings, hematology, and some data on gynecological physiology. Analysis of serum biochemical values revealed statistically significant differences in 14 of 18 routine test items as compared with the age-matched controls. In ECG findings, the combination of bradycardia and left ventricular hypertrophy was most frequently found in male athletes, whereas that of bradycardia and sinus arrythmia was observed predominantly in female athletes. The incidence of anemia and menstrual dysfunction was higher in female athletes than in controls, especially in the basketball team. In the same team, a high rate of deviant ECG records and a different distribution of the age at menarche were also observed. |
