Antioxidant diet supplementation influences blood iron status in endurance athletes

Article Abstract:

The effect of long-term (3 months) dietary antioxidant supplementation on the hematological parameters and the iron blood status of amateur athletes during their training and competition season have been evaluated. Eighteen amateur trained male athletes were randomly distributed in two groups: placebo (lactose) and antioxidant supplemented (vitamin E, 500 mg/d; vitamin C, 1g/d; and Beta-carotene, 30 mg/d). In addition, the results showed exercises decreased antioxidant defenses in the placebo group but not in the antioxidant-supplemented group.

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption following continuous and interval cycling exercise

Article Abstract:

An investigation into the effect of interval (INT) and continuous (CON) cycle exercise on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) was conducted. Three methods were used to analyze post-exercise oxygen consumption and all provided similar results; however, there were no major differences in either the magnitude or duration of EPOC between the CON and INT protocols.
