Cohesion

52.1K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Summary

Foot-strike hemolysis may occur in marathon runners, indicated by increased reticulocyte counts and decreased haptoglobin. However, significant anemia markers like hemoglobin did not change, suggesting transient effects in endurance athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Sports-related anemia is a concern for endurance athletes.
  • Foot-strike hemolysis, a potential cause, involves red blood cell destruction due to impact during running.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of foot-strike hemolysis in sports-related anemia among marathon and ultramarathon runners.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of human studies on marathon or greater distance runners.
  • Inclusion of studies with pre- and post-race hematological assessments.
  • Data extraction on runner demographics, race times, and blood parameters; bias assessment using MINORS criteria.

Main Results:

  • Nine studies with 267 runners were included; 88% were male, mean age 37 years.
  • Reticulocyte count increased by 16% and haptoglobin decreased by 21% post-race.
  • Hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC counts remained within normal limits.

Conclusions:

  • Transient foot-strike hemolysis is suggested by reticulocyte and haptoglobin changes, but not confirmed by hemoglobin/hematocrit.
  • Further research is needed to explore influences of runner demographics, experience, and race characteristics.
  • Investigate hemolysis at shorter race distances and refine understanding of its clinical significance.
