Comparison of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity before and after running exercises in both sexes

Changes in lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities at different running distances were not different between men and women over time because of a nonsignificant gender–time interaction. With regard to changes in oxidative stress, men and women had similar responses to exercise at the same absolute workload, despite significant differences in physical characteristics.
