The effect of short-term vitamin D on the antioxidant capacity following exhaustive aerobic exercise

Background: Exhaustive Aerobic Exercise (EAE) increases the production of free radicals and oxidative stress in body. One most effective approaches to reduce EAE-induced is antioxidant supplementation.
 Objectives: Therefore, present study investigated effect short-term Vitamin D (Vit D) supplementation on capacity inactive men following an EAE session.
 Methods: In this clinical trial, 24 non-athlete were randomly divided into Experimental (Exp; n = 12) Control (C; =12) groups. Exp received 2,000 IU Vit daily for six weeks (42 days), while C a lactose placebo with same color, shape, warmth percentage. sessions performed treadmill before after Results: The results showed that increased (P<0.05). Compared C, significantly superoxide dismutase (P=0.001), glutathione peroxidase (P=0.011), catalase (P=0.018), at Post 2 stage.
 Conclusion: Finally, could be recommended deciding participate prevent damage.
