Considering the remarkable increase of the fitness programs, the purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effect of Crossfit (CF) and periodized resistance (RT) trainings on inflammatory/oxidative responses in untrained individuals. Twenty-four participants (20 men and 4 women, age= 25.7 ± 2.2 years, BMI= 25.7 kg.m-2) were randomly assigned into 12 weeks of these trainings with a rate of five sessions/week. Before and after intervention, participants anthropometric data and graded exercise tests were performed. Before (pre), immediately after (post) and 60min after test (p60) a 20mL venous blood sample were drawn for a later measure of c-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1ß), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
