The Effect of Q10 Supplementation and One Bout Exhaustive Exercise on Some Oxidative (MDA) and Anti-Oxidative (TAC) Stress Markers in Sedentary Men

Introduction and Aims: This study is examining the effect of Q10 supplementation on some oxidative and anti-oxidative markers following one bout exhaustive aerobic exercise in sedentary men.
20 sedentary men divided in 2 homogenous groups in double blind approach: supplementation group (2.5mg/kg Q10) and placebo group. Subjects participated in Bruce test after 14 days Q10 supplementation. Blood samples were collected 4 times.
The results show significance increase in total anti oxidative capacity following 14 days Q10 supplementation (P It is concluded that Q10 supplementation could prevent exercise induced oxidative stress following one bout aerobic exhaustive exercise by increasing the total anti oxidative capacity in sedentary men.
