Abstract
Smoking is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
and metabolic syndrome. Here we aimed to assess the effect of 3-month
aerobic training on C-reactive protein (CRP) level and total antioxidant
capacity (TAC) in male smokers. A total of 34 male cigarette smokers
aged 35 – 45 years participated in this study by accessible sampling and
were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. Pre- and
post-training CRP and TAC data were collected in both groups and
compared by Student’s t-test. Aerobic training resulted in a
significantly increased TAC (P < 0.001), but CRP remained
unchanged (P = 0.96). Despite a lack of CRP change, long-term aerobic
training is associated with anti-oxidative effects.
