Abstract :In this research it was aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin E and A supplementation on some hematological parameters of exercising taekwondo players. 21 healthy male elite taekwondo players were used as subjects. Subjects were separated into three groups. 300 mg/d vitamin E was given to vitamin E group, 100 mg/d vitamin A was given to vitamin A group and no vitamin supplementation was given to control group for 6 weeks. Taekwondo exercise was applied to all groups for 5 days per week during 6 weeks. Fatigue protocol was applied to subjects two times as pre-supplementation and post- supplementation. Blood samples from all groups were taken four times the 1 st and 6 th week before and after the exercise.  Some hematological insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RBC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(red blood cell);, WBC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(white blood cell);, PLT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(platelet);, HGB insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hemoglobin); , LYM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( lymphocyte );, HCT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hematocrit);, MCV insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean corpuscular volume);, MCH insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean corpuscular hemoglobin); , MCHC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration);, RDW insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( red cell distribution width); , MPV insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( mean platelet volume); , PCT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( procalcitonin);, PDW insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(platelet distribution width ); parameters and lactate levels determined from taken blood samples were measured. I t was determined significant level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); increase in HGB, HCT, RDW, PDW, MCV, MCH, MPV, PCT and lactic acid amounts in samples taken after exercises, after and before supplementation. It was determined a decrease in HGB, HCT, PLT, MPV, RDW values in the vitamin E and A groups according to the control.
