Sickle cell trait was included because, at that time, a great deal of speculation and new information was forthcoming regarding sudden death in military recruits who had sickle cell trait. The members of the Sports Medicine Committee believed that it was important to indicate that, in spite of these new concerns, there were no data to indicate that anyone with sickle cell trait should not be included in any athletic activities. Sickle cell disease was excluded because it is a disease with variable expression and one which is characterized by numerous exacerbations and periods of quiescence.
