Investigating the Hemorheological, Metabolic, and Physical Performance Effect of a Core Muscle Strengthening Training Program.

ABSTRACT: Physical activity influences red blood cell (RBC) deformability and aggregation, which affect oxygen transport and performance. While regular training may enhance RBC properties, adaptations depend on exercise intensity, duration, and recovery. This study aimed to assess the impact of a 12-week core muscle training program on RBC deformability, aggregation, and aerobic capacity in military trainees. A total of 35 male volunteers were divided into a Training group (n = 17) and a Control group (n = 18). The intervention included dynamic stretching, core stabilization, and functional movement exercises. Spiroergometry tests, blood gas analysis, and hemorheological measurements were conducted before and after the program. Results showed no significant changes in body composition or aerobic cap
