The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of antioxidant supplement on record of middle·long distance runners. The subjects of this study were woman high school’s middle·long distance runners(n=12). Subjects was divided into two groups. One group(n=6) was supplied antioxidants, but the other group(n=6) was not supplied any antioxidants. Antioxidants wire vitamine E(671.14㎎/day) and P of S corporation(136㎎/3times/day). Duration of antioxidant supplement was 12weeks.
The record of 600m and 1200m were measured prior to antioxidant supplement for 12 weeks and after group division and during antioxidant supplement for 12 weeks.
The results vwsre as follows.
First, The 600m record of antioxidant supplement group was significantly shorten(p<.01), but the other group’s record was not shorten significantly.
Second, The 1200m record of antioxidant supplement group was significantly shorten(p<.01), but the other group’s 1200m record was not shorten significantly.
From these results I discovered the fact that antioxidant supplement to elite middle·long distance runners improve their endurance endurance capacity and go smoothly their energy generation by preserving their mitochondria function.
Therefore, I thinks it is necessary for athletes under severe oxidative stress during exercise to be supplied vitamins, abundant antioxidant food such as fruit, vegetable.
