       Findings could inform strategies to preserve blood cell health
       in athletes and stored blood
       (WASHINGTON – Feb. 18, 2026) – Extreme endurance running damages
       red blood cells in ways that may affect their ability to
       function properly, according to a study published in the
       American Society of Hematology’s journal Blood Red Cells & Iron.
       Although the duration and long-term implications of the damage
       are unclear, the study adds to a growing body of evidence that
       extreme forms of exercise may harm, rather than support, overall
       health.
