| Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess antioxidant status in elite alpine ski racers during six weeks intensive training. Materials and Methods: Subjects included 12 male alpine ski racers (205 years) who underwent 6 weeks of intensive training. For red blood cells glutathione content, plasma uric acid and total anti oxidant determination, blood samples were collected before and just after training. Results: Plasma Uric acid concentration (6.51.4 mg/dL, 8.31.7 mg/dL) and total antioxidant capacity after six weeks intensive training showed statistically significant increases (2.10.2 mM, 2.70.3 mM). Red blood cell glutathione content also increased after period of training (5.40.7 and 6.10.9 nmol/mg Hb). Conclusion: Intensive alpine ski training after six weeks can increase total antioxidant capacity of plasma probably by increasing through uric acid and RBC glutathione content. |
