Ten healthy individuals participated in this study, and they performed a concentric cycling incremental test and moderate- and high-intensity concentric and eccentric cycling using a recumbent ergometer.
PCO MDA
Oxidative markers like PCO and MDA were analyzed, and moderate intensity of eccentric and concentric cycling did not increase oxidative stress and further muscle damage, but high-intensity exercise increases the OS and muscle damage.
Intensity of resistance exercise consists of leg extension which is standardized for total volume: reps at 50% of 1RM, reps at 60% of 1RM, reps at 70% of 1RM, reps at 80% of 1RM, and reps at 90% of 1RM with 5 minutes of rest between intensities and 90–120 seconds of rest between sets.
LHP PCO SOD
LHP, PCO, and SOD were increased during resistance exercise, and the study suggests that different combinations of intensities are more beneficial to combat oxidative stress.
The endurance training group for 16 weeks consists of 3–5 min warmup, which consisted of light walking at approximately 40% of their maximal heart rate (attained during the exercise test), and 3–5 min warmup, which consisted of light walking at approximately 40% of their maximal heart rate (attained during the exercise test). Briefly, subjects walked/jogged at 50–80% of HRmax (0% grade) for 12–42 min each time (duration increased 2 min every week).
MDA, GPx, and TAC
Four months of endurance training decreased the oxidative stress and increased antioxidant status.
The exercise training session consists of sprint and squat tests (the sprint consisted of a standard 30 s Wingate test using a Monark cycle ergometer modified to conduct Wingate testing at a load equal to 7% of subjects’ body weight) (the squat test consisted of performing 15 repetitions using a load equal to 70% of subjects’ (system mass), using a Smith machine).
PCO MDA 8-oxodG
PCO was elevated following both squat and sprint exercise, whereas DNA oxidation and lipid were minimally affected.
Participants performed HIIT sessions, and the session consists of four to six 30 s bouts of high-intensity cycling.
PCO TBARS GPx
One session of HIT increased the oxidative stress along with increasing antioxidants, but a short session decreased the oxidative stress along with improving antioxidants.
All participants were allowed to perform maximal graded treadmill.
F2-isoprostane
Exercisers increased maximal O2 uptake, and F2-isoprostane decreased in exercisers, suggesting that aerobic exercise, when accompanied by relatively marked gains in aerobic fitness, decreases oxidative stress.
Resistance training consists of elastic bands, chairs, and own body weight.
GSH 8-oxo-dG MDA CAT SOD
Six months of elastic band resistance training improved physical function, as well as overall redox status. Better fitness level was linked to reduced oxidative DNA damage.
16-week aerobic exercise intervention consists of 30 minutes of weight-bearing aerobic exercise, five times per week, at a specified intensity based on age-predicted heart rate maximum (HRmax). Exercise intensity increased every four weeks to reach 80–85% of HRmax.
F2-isoprostanes
Benefits of aerobic exercise in reducing systemic oxidative stress may be limited to those who present higher baseline levels of plasma F2-isoprostanes.
Hypertrophy-resistance traditional interval training (3310 repetitions at 75% of the 1 repetition maximum (1RM), with 90-second passive rest) and hypertrophy-resistance circuit training (3310 repetitions at 75% of the 1RM, in alternating performance of 2 exercises with different muscle groups) in 2 different weeks.
TBARS GSH MDA
Circuit resistance hypertrophy training lowered the oxidative stress and antioxidants when compared to resistance training.
Resistance exercise circuit (bench press, leg press, latissimus dorsi pull, leg extension, shoulder press, triceps exercise, crunch, vertical row, biceps curl and pull up), and their one-repetition maximum (1RM) for each exercise.
MDA Ascorbic acid
Plasma MDA and CD concentrations increase after exercise.
Training was self-directed and combined endurance and resistance activities.
MDA 4-HNE SOD TAC
Results indicate that chronic exercise from middle age to old age increases oxidative damage; however, chronic exercise appears to be an effective strategy to attenuate the age-related decline in the elderly.
An eccentric exercise session was performed on an isokinetic dynamometer, and exercise protocols were undertaken from the seated position (120° hip angle) with the lateral femoral condyle aligned with the axis of rotation of the dynamometer.
PCO MDA TAC CAT
Trained individuals are less susceptible to oxidative damage.
