Resumen
Free radicals are reactive products that have multiple effects on the human body. Endogenous
and exogenous antioxidants manage the overproduction of free radicals. However, an
imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant factors causes oxidative stress. Exercise and physical
activity are factors that increase oxidative stress and disrupts the body’s homeostasis. Intensity and
duration of training, training characteristics, and fitness level can have positive or negative effects on
oxidative stress. Green tea consumption is recommended for the prevention of a variety of diseases,
health maintenance, and weight loss. The effectiveness of green tea is primarily due to the presence
of catechins and polyphenols, specifically (–)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, which has antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties based on clinical and animal studies. This review investigates the effect
of green tea exercise and their interactive effects on free radicals and sports improvement.
