Background: This study aimed to assess the basic red blood cell variables and hematological indices in children and adolescents and analyze the differences regarding age and sex.

Methods: Overall, 320 young participants, age 8 to 18 yr, were enrolled at Laboratory of Sport's Medicine, Medical Faculty, Skopje, Macedonia in 2016. Capillary blood samples were drawn and following hematologic parameters were measured: the red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit level (Hct) and hematological indexes: mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean hemoglobin concentration (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and red cell distribution width (RDW).

Aim: Physical activity has been promoted as a factor that has beneficial influence on brain functions, including cognition. The aim of this study was to detect whether subjects with different levels of physical activity (PA) have different electrophysiological response during cognitive paradigm that includes the processes of expectation, attention and learning.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 100 subjects, aged between 17 and 28 years, who were divided into three groups according to the level of general physical activity: with low, moderate and high level of PA.

Aim: This paper presents the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function in young adults. We set a hypothesis that there might be a relationship between the level of physical activity and psychomotor response on the Trial Making Test (TMT). Physical exercise influences on many aspects of cognitive functioning and has a huge effect on the general mental health.
