Abstract
All athletes who will be undergoing intense physical training need to be counseled about hydration, nutrition, and acclimatization. However, athletes with sickle cell trait are of greater concern and should be more carefully counseled. However, routine testing for sickle cell trait in athletes is not recommended. The results of a sickle cell screen are generally used for genetic counseling purposes only.
