        abstract = {Background: Physiological changes brought about by conditioning exercise are critical for athletic performance, especially in sprint events where effective oxygen transport is critical. Red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentration are important haematological markers of the ability of blood to carry oxygen.
Objective: The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of a structured conditioning program on haemoglobin (HGB) concentration and red blood cell (RBC) count of male sprinters from All India Inter-University.
Methodology: To attain the purpose of the study, twenty sample (N=20) were selected as subjects using a convenience sampling technique. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 25 years. A one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design was employed. The measurements of haemoglobin concentration and RBC count were obtained before the intervention. The selected haematological variables were measured by the assessment of the blood samples by a professional pathologist using Erba Chem – 5 V2 Plus Analyzer. The pre- and post-intervention data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test to determine significant changes in the selected variables, with a level of significance set at 0.05.
Results: The analysis revealed a significant improvement in the RBC count and Hemoglobin of the group from the pre-test to the post-test.},
