Oxidative stress biomarker monitoring in elite women volleyball athletes during a 6-week training period. J Strength Cond Res 25(5): 1360-1367, 2011-The objectives of this study were to determine (a) if reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) are a reliable parameter for monitoring oxidative stress in athletes alone or in association with other parameters of oxidative stress and depending on whether antioxidant supplements are taken or not; (b) the level of oxidative stress in athletes before the competition season; and
