Abstract

Swimming is a carried out activity, out excessively causes the body’s level of free radicals to rise. If the produced free radicals are not addressed, they will be harmful to the body. The body produces antioxidants in the form of the enzyme catalase as one of its defenses against free radicals. An enzyme called catalase may decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules into water and oxygen (O2). This research aimed to ascertain how swimming action affects the catalase enzyme’s activity. 10 pupils who were tested for their ability to swim sprints provided samples at To distinguish between groups of trained and inexperienced swimmers, a 200 m distance was covered in 4 min. By using the spectrophotometric method to measure the catalase enzyme activity, the results revealed that the difference between the trained and untrained groups was greater for the catalase enzyme activity group and that swimming exercise had an effect on the catalase enzyme activity (p 0.05).
