The Effect of Submaximal Exercise Preceded by Single Whole-Body Cryotherapy on the Markers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Blood of Volleyball Players

Table 2

The concentration of lipid peroxidation products: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes (CD), the activity of antioxidant enzymes: catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as serum total oxidant status (TOS) in blood of volleyball players before and after physical effort preceded by whole-body cryotherapy (WBC exercise) and exercise without stimulation by cryogenic temperatures (control exercise).
