In this study football players, who have been under antioxidant supplementation, have been examinded. Summary: Total antioxidant status at the end of championships was low, which probably means that the antioxidant supplementation helped the antioxidant defense system of athletes. In contrast, total antioxidant status after one month of vacation (without training and supplementation) was 27% (p<0.05) higher compared to the third period (end of championships) in the same group of athletes.
