The Effect of Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise on Oxidative Stress and Cellular Fitness in Healthy Trained Young Men

Sponsor: Indonesia University

Summary

This study aims to analyze the effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercise on health at the molecular level. By examining these effects, the study seeks to provide the public with insights into which types of exercise offer the most significant health benefits. Participants will engage in aerobic and anaerobic exercises for one month, with 5 mL of venous blood collected by experienced phlebotomists both before and after the exercise period. While blood collection may cause mild discomfort and temporary bruising, these symptoms should subside within a few days. The collected blood will be processed to separate plasma and leukocytes for the assessment of oxidative damage, lipid profile and cellular fitness parameters. The oxidative damage markers to be measured include malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, H2O2, and antioxidants such as total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase. Cellular fitness will be evaluated by measuring mitochondrial biogenesis markers (succinate dehydrogenase and PGC-1A), ATP levels, and ATPase inhibitor levels. The benefits for the participants, they will receive include a laboratory assessment to evaluate cell damage, lipid profiles, and mitochondrial function. Additionally, the study results will help identify the most beneficial type of physical exercise for optimal health.
