Introduction:
Oxidative stress is a condition in which the reactive oxygen species production
exceeds the antioxidant system capacity to neutralize these peroxidases. In
these situations, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids are damaged. In this
regard, the cherry can be noted as a food antioxidant which leads an increasing
antioxidant capacity and reducing inflammation and damage muscle. Therefore,
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cherry juice
supplementation on total antioxidant capacity (TAC), creatine kinase (CK),
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in non-athlete men after an exhaustive aerobic
exercise. Method: In this quasi-experimental research, ten untrained (UT) men
were randomly selected. Then, they were divided into
two equal groups: supplement group (cherry juice) and placebo group (commercial
Cherry juice diluted with natural water). After eight days of supplementation
period, all subjects were participated in aerobic exercise protocol (Bruce test
run to the point of exhaustion) on the treadmill. Primary blood samples in the
baseline were taken. The second was
immediately after the Bruce test, third and fourth were six and twenty-four
hours later were taken (5 ml). For analysis of the results. Analysis of
variance with repeated measures was used at the significant level. Result: A
significant effect of short-term cherry
juice supplementation on TAC, H2O2, and CK was observed (p≤0.05). Conclusions: In
general, it can be concluded that probably eight days of cherry juice
supplementation probably cannot prevent the adverse effects of oxidative stress
caused by acute aerobic exercise.
