Abstrakt: This descriptive study determined whether winter swimming (WS) and outdoor amateur running (RUN) affect blood morphological and biochemical indicators in men during midseason winter swimming from November to April. There were three groups of participants, with 10 male amateurs each: RUN + WS, WS, and control. The research was performed in the middle of the winter swimming season of 2020/2021. This time period was chosen in consideration of the respondents' adaptation to winter conditions. The study involved only 10 male amateurs in each study group owing to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, which confined people to their homes. In the RUN + WS group compared with the WS group, significant decreases in the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (within standard limits) ( p = 0.04) and platelet distribution width ( p = 0.006) were observed, with a significant increase in the red blood cell distribution width ( p = 0.008) (within standard limits). The renal function, as expressed by the estimated glomerular filtration rate, was higher in the RUN + WS group ( p = 0.02) (within standard limits) compared with the WS group, and the uric acid concentration was reduced ( p = 0.01). In the RUN + WS group compared with the control group, significant decreases in the leukocyte count ( p = 0.02) (within standard limits), monocyte count ( p = 0.04) (within standard limits), and platelet distribution width ( p = 0.005) were reported. The remaining indicators presented a p -value > 0.05. The two investigated forms of physical activity had no negative effect on blood morphological or biochemical indicators in male amateurs during the winter swimming midseason.
