Comparative Analysis of Mean Platelet Volume Among female Volleyball, Rugby Players and Yoga Practitioners

Abstract

Purpose: Several studies have shown that platelet size is a reliable indicator of platelet activity and, therefore, a valuable biomarker for cardiovascular events. Many inflammatory and prothrombotic disorders have been linked to it. As a biomarker for inflammation and neoplastic disease, This study aims to examine existing research on changes to mean platelet volume (MPV). Materials and methods: The present study portrays MPV comparison among the female players who participated in three games viz Yoga, Volleyball, and Rugby conducted at the university level throughout India with age groups ranging from 17 to 25 years in the sample. The sample size is 45, with 15 players chosen from each game Yoga, Volleyball, and Rugby. Results: The results mean, standard deviation (SD), standard error of the mean (SEM), and lowest and maximum scores were used to examine the data. SPSS software was used to do the One-Way Analysis of variance. It was observed that there is a significant difference in the MPV of players from three distinct sports. Furthermore, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the MPV between the players participating in individual games. The present results displayed the values of MPV among players from different games are independent of one another and unaffected by one another. Conclusion: The study's findings indicate a significant difference in the MPV of players from three distinct sports. However, when MPV of Volleyball and rugby players were compared, it was discovered that they were connected. In conclusion, MPV among players from different games are independent of one another and unaffected by one another. Variability in MPV was also observed across all sample sizes in the study.
