Exertion in kangoo jumps aerobic: Evaluation and interpretation using spectroscopic technique determinations

Abstract

Laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) is growing quickly in its applications to real world problems - one of the problems is to prevent obesity - being a candidate technology for breath analysis applications. The ongoing paper is aiming to investigate the evaluation of oxidative stress in womens practicing Kangoo Jumps (KJ) aerobics. Because it is not possible to directly measure free radicals in the body, we approach that by measuring the by-products (breath ethylene) that result from free radical reactions. We found out that the mixture of exhaled breath in women's after the KJ exercises contains low concentration of ethylene compared to the exhaled breath of the women before the start of exercise program. This result can add valuable information to the contribution to reduce the generation of prooxidants during and after KJ aerobics. © 2013 Cristina Popa et al.
