Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify the extent of the effect of the training load of varied intensity (water polo match) on some Antioxidants represented by variables such as concentration and activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, malone aldehyde and amino acids in a sample of (13) water polo players of (Ẍ = 17.46 years). Blood samples were taken in three stages; prior to performance, directly after performance and 60 minutes after performance and relevant differences were studied. Results showed that there were significant differences between the three measurements in all the study variables in favor of the pre-measurement indicating the extent of the effect of the training load of varied intensity causing the cell damage to occur and retarding the speed recovery for athletes .
