Abstract


Among the many theories that seek to explain the aging process, the free radical theory has shown strong evidence, and that when found in high concentrations, cause changes in the cells and tissues of this body, we call oxidative stress. However, exercise of moderate intensity, is considered a strong antioxidant for the elderly, where it causes adaptations in the antioxidant system, thus ensuring a more efficient system in the fight against aging. The aim of this review was to assess the relationship between aging, oxidative stress and exercise. The methodology used was a survey of references and analysis of survey data using classic papers that addressed the topic. The databases were selected: SciELO, PubMed, and Sciencesoft.gr Cev.org.br (Virtual Sports Center).
