Zinc and Copper biochemical indices of antioxidant status in elite athletes of different modalities

Article Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to compare zinc and copper biochemical indices of antioxidant status and their relationship to elite athletes of four sport modalities, triathlon, long- and short-distance runners and short-distances swimmers, characterized by different aerobic/anaerobic and high-impact training conditions. Results indicate that elite athletes practicing long-distance high-impact aerobic sports have higher zinc and copper indices of antioxidant protection than athletes practicing short-distance, low-impact anaerobic sport.

Oxidative stress and antioxidants in athletes undertaking regular exercise training

Article Abstract:

Dietary intake of antioxidants, physical activity levels, various antioxidants and oxidative stress markers are examined in 20 exercise-trained 'athletes' and 20 age- and sex-matched sedentary 'controls'. These findings suggest that athletes who consume a diet rich in antioxidants have elevated plasma alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene that were likely to be brought about by adaptive processes resulting from regular exercise.

Antioxidant supplementation enhances Neutrophil Oxidative Burst in trained runners following prolonged exercise

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the influence of an antioxidant vitamin supplement, which is used to immune cell response for prolonged exercise. The study reveals that antioxidant supplementation may benefit the athletes to maintain innate immune system.
