This study was original research investigating the changes in hematological and cycling-related parameters in 2 age groups of youth and junior cyclists born and trained at either low or moderate altitude. The hematological data are used for a secondary analysis of a small sample (ie, 31 youth and 20 junior cyclists) of the 470 participating children and adolescents, whose data were managed, collected, and analyzed during the doctoral work of the first author, Prof Mancera-Soto, who was cosupervised by Prof Edgar Cristancho and Prof Walter Schmidt.
The analytic methods for the hematological analysis replicate briefly the methods described in a previous publication by Prof Mancera-Soto.1
