Present study is to investigate an impact of black chokeberry on the lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes and immunity for boxers while they are trying to loose weight. 13male boxers are subjected to two weeks of weight reduction training, assigned randomly in two groups : an experimental group taking the black chokeberry and the placebo group. The impact on the lipid peroxidant enzymes and immunity are as the followings :
2. There was no significant difference in GPX concentration in blood between the experimental control groups.
Therefore, two weeks of antioxidant intake dose not make any significant difference between two groups, however, since the experimental group taking the black chokeberry showed a slightly significant decrease in MDA and a slightly significant increase in IgA indicated that taking antioxidant while under a intense training and weight reduction can be performance enhancing for athletes.
