Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of acute caffeine consumption on the changes in oxidative response in healthy men treated by a one-session exercise retarder. 16 athletes from 22 to 30 years of age who had 6 to 24 months of resistance exercise experience were randomly assigned to supplement and placebo groups. Subjects received caffeine (6 mg / kg body weight) and plasibo (6 mg/kg body weight), depending on the type of group they were in. After 45 minutes, subjects of both groups performed a very slow resistance (ten seconds of Concentric and two seconds eccentric) in the form of 10 repetitions of maximum at each turn. Blood samples were taken from the subjects for compute blood counting, serum total antioxidant activity (TAC) and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) changes one day before, immediately afterwards and 24 hours after the training session. The analysis was performed using ANOVA with repeated measurements of 4*2 at a significant level of p≤0.05. TAC and MDA Men who have been practiced for 24 hours after a traditional training session have decreased and increased, respectively. Acute consumption of caffeine can not be statistically significant in order to avoid unnatural loss (TAC). While acute consumption of caffeine could significantly reduce MDA. By confirming the effect of caffeine in preventing the increase of MDA, the role of caffeine supplementation in preventing oxidative damage following resistance activity is expected.Key words: slow resistance training, serum total antioxidant capacity
