Abstract

Fitness is the ability of the organism to maintain the various internal equilibriums as closely as possible to the resting state during strenuous exercise and to restore promptly after exercise. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fitness and correlate it with anti-oxidant levels of 50 male and female medical students in the age group of 18 to 25 years. Fitness was assessed by two step test (Master step). The antioxidant status was assessed by the Vitamin C and Vitamin E levels in the blood. Vitamin E values were significantly different but not the Vitamin C levels. Vitamin C levels did not influence the fitness levels in the same sex, but we found a significant difference between male and female young subjects. Thus, it is concluded that Vitamin E levels influence the fitness state of an individual.
