Psycho-physical stress and oxidative stress in athletes: by the medical staff of Juventus Football Club an interesting research on the d-ROMs Test

He completed almost 14 years the first scientific work published on the d-ROMs Test in d-ROMs Test in Sports Medicine.

We want to celebrate this event, reporting the results of a recent survey conducted by the medical staff of Juventus Football Club and published in the prestigious Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition .

In practice, Italian researchers have monitored the level of stress suffered by players during last season subjecting athletes to the determination of the ratio testosterone / cortisol in saliva and the evaluation of oxidative stress, by d-ROMs Test and OXY-Adsorbent Test on blood samples. The two parameters are strongly correlated, indicating a possible correlation between the levels of emotional stress and oxidative stress, although conceptually different from each other but both related to physical activity intense.

These data can be correctly interpreted in the light of the complex interrelationships that exist between neurons, lymphocytes and hormones,  object of the so-called PNEI (psiconeuroendocrinoimmunologia). In practice, strenuous physical exercise, especially if performed incorrectly in intensity and / or duration, can lead to an imbalance of neuro-transmitter (mainly serotonin) and a parallel increase in the levels of free radicals and pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has great importance not only in understanding the fatigue of athletes, but also the much dreaded "fatigue", typical of chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer.

To satisfy your curiosity in the field we decided to make available, next to the original work cited, an updated selection of scientific articles published in 14 years of studies on the Panel Carratelli for Sports Medicine, all courtesy International Observatory of Oxidative Stress.
