Student Athlete s Signature Student Athlete s Print Name Date SPORT(s): Parent/Guardian s Signature (if under 18 years of age) Parent/Guardian s Print Name Date About Sickle Cell Trait Sickle cell trait is not a disease. Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition affecting the oxygen carrying substance, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. You are born with sickle cell trait; it cannot be developed over time or contracted like a disease. Although Sickle cell trait occurs most commonly in African Americans and those of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribbean, and South and Central American ancestry, persons of all races and ethnicities may test positive for this condition. Those with sickle cell trait usually have no symptoms or any significant health problems. However, sometimes during very intense, sustained physical activity, as can occur with collegiate sports, certain dangerous conditions can develop in those with sickle cell trait, leading to blood vessel and organ (kidneys, muscles, heart) damage that can cause sudden collapse and death. Some of the settings in which this can occur include timed runs, all out exertion of any type for 2 to 3 continuous minutes without a rest period, intense drills and other bursts of exercise after doing prolonged conditioning training. Extreme heat and dehydration increase the risks.
