Vitamin C as an antioxidant agent during endurance exercise
Abstract
The intensive physical exercise, especially aerobics cause stress in organism besides these actions cause free radical through different mechanisms which can cause muscular lesions and cellular damages. These lesions cause athletic problems in their performances. Vitamin C or aerobic acids participate in cellular processes of oxiduredution, working as a powerful natural antioxidant. The effect of nutritional supply in athletes with antioxidant nutrients, especially vitamin C has been largely discussing as a way of preventing or decreasing damages caused by exaggerated formation of free radical during physical practice
