Abstract :In this research it was aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin E and A supplementation on some hematological parameters of exercising taekwondo players. 21 healthy male elite taekwondo players were used as subjects. Subjects were separated into three groups. 300 mg/d vitamin E was given to vitamin E group, 100 mg/d vitamin A was given to vitamin A group and no vitamin supplementation was given to control group for 6 weeks. Taekwondo exercise was applied to all groups for 5 days per week during 6 weeks. Fatigue protocol was applied to subjects two times as pre-supplementation and post- supplementation. Blood samples from all groups were taken four times the 1 st and 6 th week before and after the exercise. Some hematological (RBC (red blood cell), WBC (white blood cell), PLT (platelet), HGB (hemoglobin) , LYM ( lymphocyte ), HCT (hematocrit), MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) , MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), RDW ( red cell distribution width) , MPV ( mean platelet volume) , PCT ( procalcitonin), PDW (platelet distribution width ) parameters and lactate levels determined from taken blood samples were measured. I t was determined significant level (p<0.05) increase in HGB, HCT, RDW, PDW, MCV, MCH, MPV, PCT and lactic acid amounts in samples taken after exercises, after and before supplementation. It was determined a decrease in HGB, HCT, PLT, MPV, RDW values in the vitamin E and A groups according to the control.Keywords : Hematological parameters, lactate levels, taekwondo, vitamin A, vitamin E
