Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The practice of complementary and alternative medicine has significantly gained acceptance worldwide, such as Al-Hijama, also known as cupping therapy. Despite the growing popularity of therapeutic cupping among athletes, little is known about the impact of cupping therapy on sports fields. The current study was designed to explore the effect of wet cupping therapy on the haematological and inflammatory parameters in Jordanian national team players.
UNASSIGNED: The procedure was carried out at a specialized centre for cupping in Amman on the morning of the 19th Rajab. The data were obtained from 14 healthy male participants aged between 21 and 22 years. The haematological and inflammatory parameters were assessed by comparing venous blood components before and after four weeks of wet cupping.
UNASSIGNED: Complete blood count (CBC) analysis of venous blood samples four weeks after wet cupping showed a significant increase in the values of total white blood cells (WBCs), neutrophils, lymphocytes, red blood cells (RBCs), haematocrit, and haemoglobin as compared with venous blood samples before cupping. Blood film examination of venous blood samples post-cupping revealed normocytic normochromic RBCs; WBCs and platelets were unremarkable. Analysis of inflammatory markers post cupping showed a significant decrease in the monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) but no differences in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR).
UNASSIGNED: The findings of this study suggest that wet cupping has an indispensable influence on haematological and immunological parameters in athletes, where it reinforces cellular immunity, generates younger blood cells, and reduces inflammation markers. It is probable, therefore, that cupping improves sports performance and achievement. The evidence from this research adds to a growing body of literature on cupping therapy in sports.

摘要：
■补充和替代医学的实践已在全球范围内获得广泛认可，比如Al-Hijama,也称为拔罐疗法。尽管治疗拔罐在运动员中越来越受欢迎，关于拔罐疗法对运动场的影响知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨湿罐疗法对约旦国家队球员血液学和炎症参数的影响。
■该程序于19日上午在安曼的一个专门拔罐中心进行。数据来自14名年龄在21至22岁之间的健康男性参与者。通过比较湿拔罐四周前后的静脉血成分来评估血液学和炎症参数。
■湿拔罐四周后静脉血样本的全血细胞计数（CBC）分析显示，白细胞总数（WBC）值显着增加，中性粒细胞，淋巴细胞，红细胞（RBC），血细胞比容,和血红蛋白与拔罐前的静脉血样本相比。拔罐后静脉血标本的血膜检查显示红细胞正常；白细胞和血小板无明显变化。拔罐后炎症标志物的分析显示，单核细胞/淋巴细胞比率（MLR）和血小板/淋巴细胞比率（PLR）显着降低，但中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比率（NLR）没有差异。
■这项研究的结果表明，湿拔罐对运动员的血液学和免疫学参数具有不可或缺的影响，它增强了细胞免疫力，生成更年轻的血细胞，并减少炎症标志物。很可能,因此,拔罐可以提高运动成绩和成就。这项研究的证据增加了越来越多关于运动拔罐疗法的文献。
