Abstract

The effects of vitamin E and aerobic training on the relationship between blood lactate, lactate dehydrogenize (LDH) enzyme and exhaustion is doubtful.Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the interaction effects of vitamin E and aerobic training (55-75% HRR)to find out about the association between theses variables. For this purpose, forty untrained, healthy and non-smoker male students (age=21.3±1.5 yrs, height=176±5.4 cm, and weight=74.2±14 kg) were divided into 4 groups  1) vitamin E + aerobic training; 2) aerobic training + placebo; 3) vitamin E; 4) placebo.
The research design involved vitamin E (400 mg per day) and aerobic training with 50-75% HRR (three days per week), and incremental cycle ergometer test until exhaustion. Before and after program, blood samples were collected at rest and post-exhaustive exercise. Also, blood lactate was measured by lactometer. ANOVA-one way, Tukay post hoc and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for analysis of data.
The results showed that vitamin E supplementation and aerobic training induced significant differences between groups in blood lactate and exhaustion and did notlead to significant difference in LDH enzyme. Also there was not significant correlation between groups in variables, except blood lactate and LDH enzyme in placebo group.
The results show that 8 weeks vitamin E supplementation and aerobic training cincided with beneficial changes in blood lactate and exhaustion, but can not change LDH enzyme profile of sedentary men. Thus, accumulation of blood lactate can not be the main reason of exhaustion in aerobic training and probably, other mechanisms play more important role in this case.
