Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate two different intensity of resistance training with the same volume on the plasma levels of malonyl dialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in healthy men. 30 healthy men with aged 20-25 years participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups of moderate-intensity resistance training (hypertrophy), high intensity resistance training (strength) and the control group. Hypertrophy resistance training (3 sets of 10 repetitions with 70% of one repetition maximum) and strength training (4 sets of 6 reps with 85% of one repetition maximum) for 8 weeks and were administered three times a week. Venous blood samples were obtained from the subjects during fasting and two times, 24 hours before the start of the protocol and 48 hours after the last training session. Repeated measure ANOVA revealed that MDA concentration was significantly reduced in exercise groups compared to control group. In addition, the amount of the reduction in hypertrophy training was more compared with strength training group (P=0.0.4). GSH concentration was significantly increased in exercise groups compared to control group. Hypertrophy training was more increases in GSH levels compared with strength training. TAC levels increased in both groups, but the increase was significantly only in hypertrophy training but was not found a significant difference between the groups. In conclusion may be resistance training could improve antioxidant system (GSH and TAC) and decrease the MDA and it was independent from intensity of training.
