The rate of lipid peroxidation, the antiradical defense in red blood cells, the levels of cholesterol and phospholipids, and resistance of erythrocytes to hemolysis were studied in cyclic and non-cyclic sportsmen. Seventy-one male athletes aged 18-25 years were examined. A control group included 15 apparently healthy untrained volunteer students of the same age. Exercise was given in dose of as 13500-27000 Kgm during bicycle ergometer tests. Blood samples were taken by venepuncture at rest before and 5 and 30 minutes after exercise. It was found that intensity of lipoperoxidation, anti-radical protection in erythrocytes and stability of erythrocytes to hemolytic depended on adaptation to the amount and character of regular muscular activities. The findings allow the above parameters to be recommended in the comprehensive evaluation of the functional status of sportsmen.
