Abstrak
Red blood cells play a crucial role in supporting muscle performance during exercise through complex physiological mechanisms, particularly oxygen transport, blood pH regulation, and adaptation to exercise. This study aimed to examine in-depth the physiological mechanisms of red blood cells in supporting muscle function during exercise. A systematic literature review of various international scientific publications from 2000–2024 that discussed the relationship between red blood cell physiology and exercise performance was used as the method. The results of the study indicate that endurance training and hypoxic training can increase red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, and cell membrane deformability, which directly impact oxygen transport capacity and muscle work efficiency. Furthermore, these hematological system adaptations also help delay muscle fatigue by increasing oxygen supply and regulating acid-base balance. In conclusion, understanding the physiological mechanisms of red blood cells is crucial in developing training programs and strategies to improve athlete performance.
