Antioxidants Combined With Cryotherapy on Inflammatory Response After Resistance Exercise in Untrained Volunteers
NCT ID: NCT02902315 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 26 Completion: 2017-07-12
Conditions
Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Pain
Interventions
Cryotherapy, Vitamins C and E, Vitamins C and E associated with cryotherapy, Placebo
Summary
Acutely resistance exercise induces inflammatory responses and leukocytosis arising of oxidative stress, that clinically manifested by pain and/or delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Beginners in resistance exercise programs are more vulnerable to the effects of oxidative stress as they exhibit lower antioxidant capacity, greater lipid peroxidation and present increased perception of pain after exercises that may lead to abandonment the exercises practice. Vitamins C and E are exogenous antioxidants which are able to prevent damages caused by oxidative stress. Cryotherapy decreases temperature and reduced generation of reactive oxygen species. The aim of the present research are to investigate the effects of the concomitant of vitamins and of cryotherapy on leukocytosis, inflammatory markers, oxidative stress parameters and pain in untrained individuals submitted to a resistance exercise session.
Primary Outcome
Delayed onset muscle soreness (points)
