a.Sports anemia is associated with normal hemoglobin whereas iron deficiency anemia is associated with low hemoglobin.
b.Sports anemia is not responsive to iron supplements whereas iron deficiency anemia is effectively treated by supplemental iron.
c.Sports anemia is due primarily to blood loss associated with injury whereas iron deficiency anemia is mainly due to dietary insufficiency.
d.Sports anemia is due primarily to increased iron loss via perspiration whereas iron deficiency anemia is due primarily to dietary insufficiency.
