The Effect of Moderate Aerobic Exercise with Vitamin E Consumption on Total Anti-oxidant Capacity,Lipid Peroxidation and Muscle Damage in Active Male Students

Background & Adequate nutrition is a prerequisite for an effective improvement of athletic performance، preparation، and refreshment after the activities and injury preventionin active people. However، today، the type and severity of impact of physical activity with exogenous supplementation on the free radicals activity and oxidative stress indicators are not well-known. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of moderate aerobic exercises with vitamin E consumption on the total anti-oxidative capacity (TAC) and lipid peroxidation and muscle damage in active male students. For this reason، 45 active male students (ages 23. 04 1. 9 yr; height 172. 98 5. 65 cm; weight 70. 13 5. 58 kg) were selected randomly and divided into three groups; practice – placebo (n=15)، practice-supplement (n=15) and control – placebo (n=15). Moderate aerobic exercise program (3 session، 45 minute with 60-65%، HRmax a week) with vitamin E consumption was performed for 8 weeks. Fasting plasma levels of TAC، Creatine Kinase (CK)، Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Carbonyl protein (CP) were measured before and 24 hours after the training period. The results showed that the plasma TAC level in practice - supplement group was significantly higher than other groups (p<0. 05). Plasma levels of CP and MDA in practice - supplement group were significantly lower than other groups (p<0. 05); Alsoplasma levels of CK in practice - supplement group was significantly lower than control - placebo group (p<0. 05); plasma levels of CK in practice - placebo group was significantly higher than control - placebo group (p<0. 05). Moderate aerobic exercise with vitamin E consumption compared with moderate aerobic exercise reduced lipid peroxidation، muscle damage and improved antioxidative defense.
