Participation in competitive sports may even worsen glycaemic control. Free radicals and oxidative stress markers are known to increase during acute exercise in parallel to decreased circulating antioxidant concentrations. We aimed to analyze the effects of chronic and acute exercise on circulating HbA1c and fructosamine levels.<...
