Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome will be the evaluation of oxidative stress parameters (enzymatic activity, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage, antioxidant activity) before and after grape juice consumption. These parameters are expected to decrease after chronic consumption (14 days) of red grape juice.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The secondary outcome will be the assessment, before and after the consumption of grape juice, of inflammatory marker parameters and indicators of pain and effort, which may be related to muscle fatigue. Chronic (14 days) consumption of grape juice is expected to decrease inflammatory markers and indicators of pain and effort, as well as favoring the aerobic capacity of the individuals in this study.
