POSSIBILITY OF CORRECTION OF OXIDATIVE STRESS WITH A RICH DIET WITH VITAMIN GROUP B AND USING PILATES

Abstract

Introduction. The presence of martial law in Ukraine creates conditions for the deterioration of the psychosomatic state of the inhabitants of Ukraine. A significant part of men are in the combat zone, but those who remain in the rear are also under the influence of circumstances that are not always easy to cope with at work and in everyday life. It is necessary to take into account the presence of distress in all Ukrainians who may be involved in the study. The purpose of the research. To investigate the possibility of using Pilates and B vitamins to reduce the manifestations of oxidative stress in men. Research methods. Men who sought help from sports clubs for the corrective effect of Pilates and agreed to use a B vitamin complex were monitored for signs of oxidative stress and their dynamics during 3 months of training. All participants were determined to have malondialdehyde content, catalase and superoxide dismutase activity in blood plasma. Results and discussion. A decrease in oxidative stress was shown by the content of malondialdehyde in the blood plasma of the participants. The greatest positive changes were found in those men who had not served in territorial defense before being included in the study and belonged to the older group of subjects. Positive changes were considered to be a decrease in the concentration of malondialdehyde against the background of an increase in the activity of the antioxidant defense enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. The positive effect of Pilates and the use of a vitamin B complex on other categories of men who participated in the study was established. A significant increase in the effectiveness of the anti-stress effect of Pilates together with the use of the vitamin complex was found. Conclusions. The use of Pilates together with B vitamins resulted in a reduction in the manifestation of oxidative stress as measured by the content of malondialdehyde in the blood plasma of participants, especially in older age groups. The increase in superoxide dismutase activity under the influence of Pilates and B vitamins increases antioxidant protection, which is especially pronounced for men, whose level of oxidative stress was more pronounced at the beginning of the study. Increased catalase activity as a result of the simultaneous use of Pilates training and vitamin B complex with higher reliability than without vitamins.
