Antioxidant Status and Strength Performance in 25 Combat Athletes

25 high-level combat athletes participated in a cross-sectional study measuring energy and oxidative stress markers alongside six strength performance indicators. Data includes plasma ATP, antioxidant markers (T-AOC, SOD, GPX), oxidative damage marker MDA, and performance tests like standing long jump and 1-RM bench press. The research was conducted by Jinling Huang to examine associations between physiological indicators and athletic performance.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between plasma ATP levels and explosive performance metrics like standing long jump and vertical jump.
• Compare antioxidant defense markers (T-AOC, SOD, GPX) across different combat sports (e.g., boxing, taekwondo) and between genders.
• Investigate the relationship between body fat percentage and strength outcomes, such as its negative correlation with vertical jump performance.
• Use oxidative damage marker MDA and performance data to model potential impacts of oxidative stress on athletic output.

Strengths

• Includes data from 25 high-level combat athletes, providing a focused sample of elite performers.
• Measures multiple physiological domains: one energy marker (ATP), three antioxidant markers, one oxidative damage marker, and six distinct strength performance indicators.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC BY 4.0, permitting reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 25 athletes limits statistical power and generalizability of findings.
• Cross-sectional study design prevents inference of causality between measured markers and performance.
• Data is contained in a 72.5 KB DOC file, which is a tiny, non-tabular format requiring manual extraction for analysis.
