Association between VO <sub>2</sub> max and antioxidant capacity in healthy young Saudi men
These findings indicate that aerobic fitness is positively associated with resting total antioxidant capacity, potentially offering greater protection against oxidative stress-related chronic diseases. The absence of significant correlations between VO<sub>2</sub>max, individual antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation markers may be attributed to the relatively low VO<sub>2</sub>max levels in this cohort. Further research is warranted to explore this relationship across a broader range of fitness levels and additional oxidative stress biomarkers.
