Hematocrits of triathletes: is monitoring useful?
The purpose of this manuscript was to provide a basis for establishing safety cutoffs for hematocrit levels in triathletes and
background data for possible future medical control regulations.
Result: Cutoff values (3 SD above the means) of 52% for men and 48% for women are suggested by these data. However, the
relationship of these cutoffs to either athlete safety or the ability to detect rules violations remains unknown.
