Up to 75% of marathon runners ingest non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during competition. Despite the doubt whether or not they contribute to performance, the effect of NSAID in endurance sports is unclear. We evaluated the effect of ibuprofen (IBU) use on oxidative stress, muscle damage, physical performance, and vertical jump of runners participating in a 42-km-trail running.

Gentianaceae family (such as ) contains iridoids and flavonoids with antidiabetic properties. However, there is no information available about the antidiabetic effects of when combined with resistance exercise training (RET). This study evaluated the effects of the ethanolic extract (EE) and ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) of on biochemical markers, muscle damage, and oxidative stress in diabetic rats submitted to RET.

Background: Natural antioxidants can reduce oxidative damage caused by high-intensity resistance training (RT). We investigated the in vitro antioxidant potential of hydroethanolic extract (HEE) from Bowdichia virgilioides on muscular damage and oxidative stress in rats subjected to high-intensity RT.
Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups: 1) control group (CG), oral administration (P.
