During exercise free radical production increases, and the subsequent removal depends on
the capacity of the well-developed scavenger and antioxidant system [6]. If the rise in the …

Antioxidant supplementation, including vitamin E and C supplementation, has recently
received recognition among athletes as a possible method for enhancing athletic …

Free radicals are produced during aerobic cellular metabolism and have key roles as
regulatory mediators in signaling processes. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between …

Physical exercise induces oxidative stress and tissue damage. Although a basal level of

Strenuous endurance exercise has a deleterious effect on metabolism. Exercise is known to
increase oxidative stress and affect haem status, which in turn affects performance. With the …

Vigorous exercise generates large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a result of
the consumption of large volumes of O 2 in athletes, causing some athletes to consume …

Physical exercise may be associated with a 10-to 20-fold increase in whole body oxygen
uptake. Oxygen flux in the active peripheral skeletal muscle fibres may increase by as much …

The use of antioxidants in sports is controversial due to existing evidence that they both
support and hinder athletic performance. Antioxidants in Sport Nutrition covers antioxidant …

This review discusses studies investigating the effects of antioxidant supplementation on
exercise-induced oxidative stress with a focus on the health implications. The aim is to …
