Effects of dietary vitamin C and E supplementation on exercise-induced muscle damage among young weightlifters

Dietary supplements vitamin C and E have shown to reduce oxidative stress and muscle damage markers following the exercise. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that markers of oxidative stress and muscle damage induced weightlifting training could be decreased by supplementing subjects with vitamin...
