Control of antioxidant supplementation through interview is not appropriate in oxidative-stress sport studies: Analytical confirmation should be required
Antioxidant supplementation should be controlled in oxidative-stress sport studies. Personal interviews are weak tools to verify antioxidant supplementation. Twenty percent of the participants lied in the personal interview; these participants showed high plasma α-tocopherol levels. High concentration of antioxidants affected oxidative stress, altering final results. High-performance liquid chromatography technique is suggested to detect hidden antioxidant supplementation.
