The Relationship Between Submaximal Exercise, Oxidative Stress, and Malondialdehyde (MDA) Levels as Indicators of Health and Physiological Adaptation in Athletes : A Litera-ture Review
Literature review establishes connections among submaximal exercise, oxidative stress, and MDA levels in athletes, suggesting benefits from appropriate training and nutrition.
Key Points
Increased oxidative stress from submaximal exercise is indicated by higher malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, affecting athlete health.
Findings from 11 selected studies indicate that High-Intensity Interval Training and functional training can reduce MDA levels.
Nutritional interventions, including octacosanol and herbal drinks, lower oxidative stress and enhance health profiles in athletes.
Continued research is essential to create comprehensive guidelines for managing oxidative stress and optimizing athletic performance.
