Effects of antioxidant-rich foods on altitude-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in elite endurance athletes: A randomized controlled trial
Background Various altitude training regimes, systematically used to improve oxygen
carrying capacity and sports performance, have been associated with increased oxidative
stress and inflammation. We investigated whether increased intake of common antioxidant-
rich foods attenuates these processes. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, 31 elite
endurance athletes (23±5 years), ingested antioxidant-rich foods (n= 16),(> doubling their
usual intake), or eucaloric control foods (n= 15) during a 3-week altitude training camp …
