Hemoglobin is a protein molecule contained in erythrocytes serves to carry oxygen. Physical training that did not suit to sport principles causes free radicals which will be bond to hemoglobin causing tissue injury. The increasing of free radicals can be reduced by vitamin C which can be gained from food or vitamin C supplements as antioxidants. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in hemoglobin levels after administering submaximal physical training and supplying vitamin C. The type of research was quasi-experimental design with pretest and post-test control group design. The population of this study was a group of students of Health and Recreation Department Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Padang enrolled in academic year of 2017 with total number 232 students. The numbers of samples were 24 students divided into three groups. Each group consists of 8 students. Data of submaximal physical training were collected using hallow sprint for 16 meeting, data of vitamin C supplement were collecting by consuming vitamin C 250 mg/day for 30 days, and data of hemoglobin level were collected by using HB meter. Data were analyzed using the effect test of t-test. Based on the results of data analysis using t-test, it was obtained that there was no effect of submaximal physical training and vitamin C supplement to wards hemoglobin level with tobserve = 1.268 <ttable = 1.860. The conclusion of this research was that giving of submaximal physical training along with vitamin C supplement has no effect on hemoglobin level.
