Swimming training attenuates oxidative damage and increases enzymatic but not non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses in the rat brain

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (10), 2016
Although it is well known that physical training ameliorates brain oxidative function after injuries by enhancing the levels of neurotrophic factors and oxidative status, there is little evidence addressing the influence of exercise training itself on brain oxidative damage and data is conflicting. This ...

Effects of continuous vs interval exercise training on oxygen uptake efficiency slope in patients with coronary artery disease

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (2), 2016
