For this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups; sedentary (SED), exercise training (TRA) RVS extract ingestion (RVE) and RVS extract ingestion and exercise training (RVE-TRA). In order to analyze antioxidant function, blood SOD, GSH-Px, and MDA were examined. And, analysis of inflammatory cytokines sere examined using IL-6, TNF-a, CRP, and NO. SOD in TRA was significantly higher than SED and RVE (p<0.05), and RVE-TRA was highest among the groups (p<0.05). The MDA content of TRA, RVE and RVE-TRA were significantly lower than SED and RVE-TRA were significantly lower than other groups (p<0.05). IL-6 and TNF-a content lower among group (p<0.05). Finally, NO concentration of SED and TRA were higher than RVE and RVE-TRA (p<0.05).
