Table 2 summarizes the plasma levels of AT, PT, and
platelet count (PC) for the controls, unaccclimatized, passively, and actively acclimatized soldiers performing EHST
(the groups U, P, and A).
The table reveals that PT values were significantly increased after the EHST compared to the basic values in the
group U and A (0.94 ± 0.08 s before vs 1.01 ± 0.04 s after
the EHST; Wilcoxon Z = -4.583; p = 0.009, and 0.97 ± 0.04
s before vs 1.03 ± 0.05 s after the EHST; Z = -2.373; p =
0.018, respectively). Platelet counts were significantly increased after the EHST compared to basic levels in all investigated groups, but did not differ among the groups, neither
before, nor after the EHST: 242.6 ± 42.82u103/mm3 before
