Abstract

Although the relationship between exercise and oxidative stress has been intensively investigated for more than 3 decades, there is still a lack of scientific data on exercise-induced oxidative stress in athletes engaged in sporting games, as well as in population of female elite athletes. Female handball players of Serbian U20 national team were taken a blood sample at the beginning and the end of one-month preparatory training period, as well as immediately before and after acute treadmill exercise. Levels of superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione, and activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase were measured in blood. Both experimental protocols lead towards significant increase of hydrogen peroxide levels and decrease of superoxide dismutase activity. Besides hydrogen peroxideincrease after both experimental protocols, the levels of other two antioxidants in charge for its’elimination, were not significantly changed, as may be expected. Also, the marker of lipid peroxidation, TBARS, was not significantly increased. This suggests that the first line of antioxidative defense was enough to prevent oxidative stress in young female handball players.
