Twenty volunteer taekwondo practitioners undertook a calorie restriction of 30-40% on three alternate days a week for one month. Eleven volunteer sportsmen participated as controls. Both groups performed an energy effciency test to evaluate physical performance, and samples were taken before and after exercise. The total weight of participants significantly decreased (5.9%) after calorie restriction, while the effciency of work and the contributions of fat to obtain energy were enhanced by calorie restriction. No significant differences induced by acute exercise were observed in individual non-esterified fatty acid percentage or oxidative stress markers. Calorie restriction downregulated the basal gene expression of nitric oxide synthase, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial uncoupling proteins, and repairing stress proteins, but it enhanced the expression of sirtuins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In conclusion, one month of calorie restriction decreases body weight and increases physical performance, enhancing energy effciency, moderating the antioxidant and inflammatory basal gene expression, and influencing its response to acute exercise. cc-by (c) Capó, Xavier et al., 2020 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Exercici Inflamació Dietes d'aprimament Antioxidants Exercise Inflammation Reducing diests Antioxidants Calorie restriction improves physical performance and modulates the antioxidant and inflammatory responses to acute exercise info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
