It is well known that intensive physical activity increase the production of reactive species of O and N (RONS), but 2 it is also known that moderate and regular physical activity has influence on antioxidative system adaptation and help in repairing process of oxidative damage. In this paper we estimated markers of lipid peroxidation (MDA, % ind MDA), and antioxidant status (Asc, DHA/A, GSH, CAT, Pex) for 30 students (control group), and 30 professional football players (regular intensive physical activity). In the group of professional sportsman there were significant increase of lipid peroxidation markers (MDA ↑, % ind MDA ↑), which was also followed by an increased antioxidant activity (Asc ↑, DHA/A ↑, GSH ↑, Pex ↑, CAT ≈). We can conclude that chronic physical activity significantly improves antioxidant status using the adaptation process.
