Postexercise Impact of Ice-Cold Water Bath on the Oxidant-Antioxidant Balance in Healthy Men

Figure 2

Erythrocytic antioxidant enzymes activities (CAT, SOD, and GPx) 20 and 40 min after recovery at room temperature (RT, 20°C) or in ice-cold water (ICW, 3°C) preceded by a 30 min aerobic exercise bout in healthy men. , difference versus 20 min after the recovery at RT. No statistically significant differences were found in the CAT and SOD activities. All data are shown as mean ± SD. CAT, catalase; SOD, superoxide dismutase; GPx, glutathione peroxidase.
