Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the fascinating world of physical exercise and its impact on oxidative and nitrosative stress levels. There is a significant relationship between physical exercise and the oxidant–antioxidant system. Different types of exercise have different effects on the level of oxidative and nitrosative stress. Additionally, intense training may contribute to or mitigate post-exercise damage. Therefore, it seems essential to establish effective regeneration methods after exercise, including nutrition and regeneration techniques.

This Special Issue aims to review the latest knowledge on the complex balance between exercise, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and recovery, offering a holistic view of physical performance optimization and long-term health promotion.

We invite you to publish research on the relationship between exercise, oxidative stress, nitrosative stress, post-exercise damage, and the organism's ability to regenerate. The latest research results on exercise program optimization may be an essential form of support for post-exercise regeneration.

This review comprehensively evaluates the effects of physical exercise on oxidative and nitrosative stress, mainly focusing on the role of antioxidants. Using a narrative synthesis approach, data from empirical studies, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2004 and 2024 were collated from databases like PubMed, EBSCO (EDS), and Google Scholar, culminating in the inclusion of 41 studies. The quality of these studies was rigorously assessed to ensure the clarity of objectives, coherence in arguments, comprehensive literature coverage, and depth of critical analysis. Findings revealed that moderate exercise enhances antioxidant defenses through hormesis, while excessive exercise may exacerbate oxidative stress. The review also highlights that while natural dietary antioxidants are beneficial, high-dose supplements could impede the positive adaptations to exercise. In conclusion, the review calls for more focused research on tailored exercise and nutrition plans to further understand these complex interactions and optimize the health outcomes for athletes and the general population.
