Antioxidants and Oxidative Stress in Exercise
Sources of Oxidative Stress
- Uncoupling of the electron transport chain: 2-5% of the total electron flux escapes the respiratory chain to make O2-. Exercise increases ATP demand. O2 uptake can increase 20-fold. O2 flux through active muscle may increase 100-fold. So there is an increased possibility.
- Ischemia-reperfusion: Intense exercise can lead to tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia promotes an excess of electron donors, NADH. Xanthine oxidase. After a period of ischemia, an increased neutrophil infiltration

1. FSU Volleyball Team: Probability of Losing Both Games
The probability that the FSU volleyball team wins a game is 0.8. If the team has two games this weekend, assuming independence of events, what is the probability that the team will lose both games?
P(A) = (1 – 0.8) = 0.2
P(B) = (1 – 0.8) = 0.2
P(losing both games) = 0.2 x 0.2 = 0.04

The Association in Defense of Labeling in Catalan (ADEC) was founded on March 18, 1987.
