Possible mechanisms related to the effects of green tea catechins and exercise training on performance. Exercise and concomitant consumption of green tea reduce oxidative factors and suppress the activation of inflammatory factors by regulating calcium release, reduce DNA and RNA damage, release caspases due to TRX activation, and ultimately lead to improved performance.
