Change of HRPRP and Antioxidant Enzymes after Intermittent Hypoxia Exposure / 中国运动医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective This paper investigated the effects of intermittent hypoxia exposure (IHE) on HRPRP?SOD?GSH-PX?MDA and exercise performance. Methods Fifteen male students were randomly assigned to group of control and IHE. The IHE group intermittently inhaled different hypoxic gas mixtures (O 2% were 14%, 12%, 10%, respectively),50～60 mins daily for 4 weeks. Both groups completed Bruce protocol exercise on the treadmill before and after IHE. The HRPRP, SOD, GSH-PX, MDA were measured at rest and post exercise respectively. Results The concentration of HRPRP and the activity of SOD, GSH-PX were increased as well as VO 2max and the time to exhaustion. Conclusion IHT is effective on improving the antioxidant capacity and sports performance.
