Summary
The influence of age and physical fitness level on the level of energy metabolism and antioxidant capacity in adult males.
Detailed description
Over four hundred healthy, adult males of different age categories and physical fitness levels were included in the study. There is much research convincing that in athletes of various sports disciplines the level of energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and amino acid profiles during years of training undergoes sports adaptation. The study aimed to evaluate how age and physical fitness level affects the level of purine metabolites and metabolites of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, the level of antioxidant capacity, and amino acid profiles. Investigators hypothesized that there will be an age-related decline in most of the physiological indices, but significant differences will appear regarding the level of an individual's sports adaptation.

|---|---|---|
| DIAGNOSTIC_TEST | Cardio-pulmonary exercise test | An incremental running test was conducted on the treadmill. Initially, the exercise protocol included standing still for 3 min and walking for 3 min at a constant speed of 4 km/h. After this introductory part, the speed was increased to 8 km/h and then every 3 min by 2 km/h until the volitional exhaustion was reached. During all procedure oxygen consumption was measured with the use of a portable breath-by-breath ergospirometer. |
