ABSTRACT
Fitness is the ability of the organism to maintain the various internal equilibriums as closely as possible to the resting state during strenuous exercise and to restore promptly after exercise. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fitness and correlate it with anti-oxidant levels of 50 male medical students in the age group of 18 to 25 years. Fitness was assessed by Harvard Step Test. The antioxidant status was assessed by Vitamin C and Vitamin E levels in the blood. Three groups were formed on the basis of fitness score. The mean values of fitness scores were 95.33 +/- 7.66, 68.5 +/- 9.22 and 37 +/- 10.9, in-group A, B and C, respectively. Between the three groups, Vitamin E values were significantly different but not the Vitamin C levels. Thus, it is concluded that Vitamin E levels influence the fitness state of an individual.
