Hormonal, antioxidant, and body composition differences in national level male athletes: a comparative study of aerobic and anaerobic training
Anaerobic exercise enhances muscle mass, while aerobic exercise supports appetite suppression. Limitations include the small sample size and reliance on 24-h dietary recall. Future research should use larger, more diverse samples and explore combined training effects. Recommendations include incorporating resistance training into aerobic regimens to optimize muscle mass and monitoring protein intake to support antioxidant defense.
