Abstract :Aim: The study aimed to identify if Ramadan fasting and sport detraining affect complete blood count (C.B.C), testosterone and biochemistry variables among soccer players. Method: The researchers used a quasi-experimental method in the pre- and post-measurements of the study\'s variables, and 15 male athletes from the Faraon football club in the Tulkarm region of the State of Palestine conducted the study. Athletes (age, 19.86±1.64 years, Height (cm) 172.06±5.71, Weight (kg) 66.93±6.86, index: 24.62 ±1.4 kg/m2) was determined as. The measurements were applied on the first day of Ramadan and on the last day of it. Paired sample t-test was used to assess the differences. Results: There are statistically significant differences between pre and post-tests means of Blood (CBC) parameters (WBC: t=2.553, p=0.023* ; HGB: t=2.265, p=0.040*; RDW: t=-3.606, p=0.003*; MPV: t=-3.445, p=0.004*) but there are no statistically significant differences between pre and post-test for the rest of Blood (CBC) parameters. There are statistically significant differences between pre and post-tests means of Testosterone Hormone (TH: t=3.024, p=0.009*). There are statistically significantdifferences between pre and post-tests means for biochemistry parameters (CPK: t=4.169, p=0.001*; HDL: t=4.017, p=0.001*; LDL: t=-4.805, p=0.000*; cholesterol: t=-3.891, p=0.002* and triglyceride: t=-2.362, p=0.033*) in favor to post-test mean. But there are no statistically significant differences between for the rest of the biochemistry parameters. Conclusion: This indicates that Ramadan fasting and sport detraining completely has a negative impact on the study variables among soccer players.Keywords : Ramadan, Sport, Biochemistry
