Title: Efectos de la suplementación con antioxidantes en el daño muscular y estrés oxidativo en carreras de media distancia
Author: Sánchez Brito, María Elisa
Tutor: Freire Rodríguez, María Freire
Abstract: Introduction: Prolonged physical exertion inherent in half marathon races increases the production of free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can impact muscular health and performance. Consequently, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplements have been the subject of numerous studies, as they have the potential to prevent and alleviate muscular damage and symptoms such as strength loss and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Objective: The work presented below aims to primarily determine the effects of muscle damage and oxidative stress, as well as the protective role of specific antioxidant supplements on these factors, in half marathon runners. Method: A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and SportDiscus databases. Key terms included "half marathon running" OR "marathon" AND "supplements," combined with "muscle damage" and/or "oxidative stress." Results: Antioxidant supplementation appears to reduce oxidative stress by blocking cellular signaling pathways; however, it adversely affects long-term muscular adaptation during exercise. Conclusion: In the context of prolonged physical exercise, this review focuses on the analysis of supplements with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The results lack consistency among previous studies. The level of fitness, experience in previous races, as well as the duration and dosage of supplementation, should be considered when analyzing the results. Future research employing more advanced methodologies is needed to provide further evidence.
