Antioxidants: Nature's Recovery Agents As cyclists push their bodies to the limits, oxidative stress becomes a significant factor impacting recovery. During intense exercise, the body produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), also known as free radicals. These molecules can cause damage to cells, tissues, and muscles, leading to increased inflammation and delayed recovery. Antioxidants are crucial … Continue reading The Role of Antioxidants in Recovery for Cyclists
