The impact of high-intensity exertion on hemoglobin levels in weightlifters: A pre-test post-test study

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of high-intensity exertion on hemoglobin levels in weightlifters using a pre-test post-test design. Hemoglobin is vital for oxygen transport, influencing performance in weightlifting. The study focuses solely on the AVSN group, which underwent high-intensity training protocols involving Ashtang Vinyas Surya Namaskar (AVSN), a dynamic sequence of yoga postures developed by K. Pattabhi Jois. The results show a statistically significant increase in hemoglobin levels post-training, emphasizing the role of high-intensity exertion in enhancing physiological adaptations related to oxygen delivery.
