Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Curcumin has an effective protective and therapeutic role in antioxidants that can play an important role during exercise. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of swimming training and curcumin supplementation on antioxidant indices inactive young men.
 
Subjects & Methods:In this quasi-experimental study, 40 young men with an age range of 25-20 years were randomly and purposefully selected and divided into four groups of exercise with curcumin, exercise, curcumin, and control. Curcumin was administered orally at a dose of 80 mg nano-micelles daily for four weeks by the groups. Swimming exercises were held for one week for four weeks and three days a week. Blood samples were taken at baseline after the last training session. Paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used for statistical analysis of data.
 
Results: The results showed that SOD, CAT, and GPx enzymes increased in the exercise group with curcumin (P≤0.05). In addition, curcumin was able to improve the levels of SOD and CAT enzymes (P≤0.05). Also, no difference was observed in the training and control groups in all three enzymes (P> 0.05).
 
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be suggested to use curcumin supplements to increase the effects of swimming exercises to improve the level of antioxidant enzymes.
