The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of acute moderate aerobic exercise on PWV and oxidative stress in healthy males. Eight apparently healthy males (age 23.6 +/- 2.8 yrs; stature 181.4 +/- 8.1 cm; weight 83.4 +/- 16.2 kg; all data mean +/-SD) participated in a randomized crossover design consisting of (i) a one hour bout of moderate aerobic exercise and (ii) a control trial of one hour rest. Pre- and post-exercise blood samples were drawn for the determination of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and lipid-soluble antioxidants (lycopene, retinol, and beta-carotene). Exercise had no effect on stiffness and LOOHs (P > 0.05). Retinol and lycopene were increased following exercise (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that acute moderate exercise has no effect on PWV and LOOHs, but it can increase systemic antioxidants, which may be of benefit to health.
