The purposes of the study were to investigate the effects of the 12 min run, blood pressure, resting heart rate, blood superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione perioxidase (GSH-Px) after prolonged anaerobic and aerobic training in male athletes. Total thirty-six volunteer including 12 sprinters (AnG), 14 distance runners (AG), and 8 control group (CG), respectively as the subjects. Both the AnG and the AG take prolonged 6 days per week, 4 hours per day of training. The 12 min-run was used the method of Hwang (1996). Blood pressure (BP) was measured by cuff sphygmanometry. Resting heart rate (RHR) was tested at the radial position. Blood samples were obtained by antecubital vein after eight hours fasting. SOD and GSH-Px were analyzed by SOD and GSH assay kit. One-way ANOVA was used ato analyze the difference among three groups in the score of the 12 min-run, BP, RHR, SOD, and GSH-Px. Turkey LSD post hoc t-test was used to analyze the difference between two groups if F-value were significant difference. The α level was equal to .05. The findings were as follows: 1. There was a significant higher (P < .05) score of the 12-min run, lower RHR in the AG than both AnG and CG, respectively. However, no difference was found in the BP among three groups. 2. There was a significant higher of GSH-Px in the AG than both AnG and CG. No difference was found between AnG and CG. 3. No difference was found in SOD among three groups. AG had a higher score cardiovascular endurance and lower resting heart rate than the other two groups indicating better aerobic fitness after long term of distance run. In other words, if one needs to improve his cardiovascular, one should do some kinds of distance training. Meanwhile, AG had a higher of GSH-Px than both AnG and CG indicating oxidative stress occurred for a prolonged aerobic training. Therefore, antioxidants, such as vitamin C, E, and βcarotine supplementation needs to be intake if one needs to do a long time aerobic training.
