Effets d’un exercice de type anaérobie sur le statut antioxydant enzymatique au cours de la récupération chez les judokas

Aim

To evaluate the effect of the anaerobic exercise on the enzymatic antioxidant statute in judokas’ regional level, because the effects of anaerobic exercise on the free radicals and antioxidants are relatively rare and have some divergences.

Materials and methods

We made this study on ten male judokas (age = 18.1 ± 1.6 years; weight = 77.2 ± 11.6 kg; height = 176.4 ± 4.6 cm), which carried out 30 seconds anaerobic capacity test (Wingate test). Blood samples were taken, by an intravenous catheter, at rest (R), immediately after the Wingate test (P0) then five minutes later (P5), 10 minutes later (P10) then 20 minutes later (P20). The measured parameters are: the superoxide dismutase (SOD), the glutathion peroxidase (GPx) and the total antioxidant statute (SAT).

Results

The concentration of the SOD increases significantly (p < 0.05) at (P0); and regains the baseline values at (P20). The concentration of GPx increases significantly (p < 0.05) in (P0); in (P10) GPx reaches the baseline values. No significant effect of the anaerobic exercise was observed on the concentration of the SAT. Positive correlation was observed between the SOD and GPx to p < 0.05.

Conclusion

The anaerobic exercise modifies the activity of the antioxidant enzymes with different kinetics.
