A Comparative Study of Effect of Interval and Continuous Training toward Oxidative Stress Level, Antioxidant Enzyme Capacity, and Resistance of Erythrocyte Membrane

Abstract

this study examined the effects of interval and continuous trainings on decrease in the oxidative stress level, increase in the antioxidant enzyme capacity and increase in the resistance of erythrocyte membrane. The research was done randomly in group pretest and post-test design of 40 students in Sport Coaching Education, Sport Science Faculty, and Malang State University who were divided into two groups, that is, interval and continuous training groups. Research subject was taken with Purposive Randomized Sampling. They were trained 3 times a week, for 8 weeks with moderate intensity and 30 minutes for exercise. Data was collected by measurement technique of blood samples, that is, blood plasma MDA level, as indicator of oxidative stress level, blood plasma SOD activity as indicator of antioxidant enzyme capacity and osmotic fragility of erythrocyte as indicator of resistance of erythrocyte membrane. The results of Data analysis by use of MANOVA , with α 0,05, concluded that the interval and continuous trainings decreased the oxidative stress level and increased both the antioxidant enzyme capacity and the resistance of erythrocyte membrane with no significant influence differences between interval and continuous trainings toward dependent variables mentioned above. Keywords--training, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzyme, resistance of erythrocyte membrane.

Protective effect of zinc sulfate and continuous/interval training on liver oxidative stress in morphine-withdrawal syndrome in rats

“…Also it was reported that endurance, resistance and concurrent exercise significantly normalized oxidative stress and the morphological changes of the intestine in withdrawal rats (Salehi et al, 2018). It is reported that continuous and interval training decreased oxidative damage in erythrocytes of the studied humans (Yunus et al, 2018). Various mechanisms are provided for describing antioxidant enzyme responses to exercise training.…”
