Platelet aggregation and strenuous exercise

L Poller, Celia M Priest, Jean M Thomson
PMCID: PMC1331738  PMID: 5551400

Abstract

1. Platelet aggregation in the Chandler's tube has been found to be increased in a group of normal male and female volunteers who undertook strenuous physical exercise. This coincided with acceleration of the `intrinsic' blood clotting system and a rise in fibrinogen. The rise in fibrinogen occurred despite increased fibrinolysis.

2. The study confirms the sensitivity of the platelet aggregation system to changes in the `intrinsic' clotting mechanism. Acceleration of this system in this study resulted from a physiological cause and produced accelerated aggregation in the coagulation-affected phase.
