Is there any research to measure the adaptation to oxidative stress by way of exercise?
Hi Zaini, have you ever heard about hormesis?Briefly, hormesis is a biological phenomenon whereby a beneficial effect (improved health, stress tolerance, growth or longevity) results from exposure to low doses of an agent that is otherwise toxic or lethal when given at higher doses.This concept could help you to understand the body's adaptive response to oxidative stress by exercise.
