Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 Wait-if cajuina supplementation reduces oxidative stress induced by intense physical exercise evaluated through the decrease of lipid peroxidation markers and reactive oxygen species measured in blood samples collected at rest and immediately after physical exercise;Outcome found 1 A reduction of oxidative stress induced by intense physical exercise was observed in the cajuína group compared to the placebo group evidenced by the decrease in markers of lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species measured in blood samples collected in rest and immediately after physical exercise | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2 Cajuina supplementation is expected to mitigate tissue damage induced by intense physical exercise evaluated through reduction of serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase measured before and after exercise;Outcome found 2 Attenuation of tissue damage induced by intense physical exercise was observed in the cajuína group compared to the placebo group evidenced by the reduction of serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase after physical exercise;Expected outcome 3 Cajuina supplementation is expected to cause changes in hematological parameters in response to intense physical exercise evaluated by counting red blood cells mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin concentration measured at rest and after physical exercise;Outcome found 3 Discrete changes in hematological parameters were observed in the cajuína group compared to the placebo group, characterized by a slight increase in red blood cell count and mean corpuscular volume after intense physical exercise | — |
