title: [Aging, physical activity and free radicals].
abstract: A growing amount of evidence indicates that increasing with age imbalance between pro- and antioxidants is implicated in a premature ageing and a variety of diseases. Physical activity influences both the production of reactive oxygen species and physiological antioxidant defences. This paper reviews the current literature on the influence of physical exercise on the oxidative stress markers and antioxidant defence system in the elderly people.
