title: [Oxidative stress management in elite athletes].
abstract: It is well known that strenuous exercise training can induce an overproduction of reactive oxygen species with subsequent impairment of cellular macromolecules and metabolism, leading to cellular dysfunction. In elite athletes, reactive oxygen species can add to other injurious factors for muscle tissue; therefore special precautions are required to avoid an increase in injury risk.
