Aim: The present study aimed to examine the impact of Ziziphus Jujube consumption on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in young women after a single bout of the intense resistance exercise.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 18 young nonathletes females were randomly divided into two equal groups including Ziziphus Jujube consumption+intensive resistance exercise and intensive resistance exercise groups. The first
group received jujube daily 0/4 g/kg of body weight for 3 weeks, but another group prohibited from Ziziphus Jujube consumption at the same time. Both groups carried out a session of intensive resistance exercise consisted of 5 movements at 90% of one repetition maximum. Blood samples were taken in three phases including baseline, after 3 weeks of the Ziziphus Jujube consumption, and after exercise session. TAC and MDA were measured using FRAP and TBARS respectively. Collected data expressed as mean and standard deviation and it is applied therepeated measures ANOVA and LSD tests for extraction of results at a significance level of p≤0.05. 
Results: In non-Jujube consumpsion group, TAC significantly decreased (p<0.02) after intensive resistance session, but it is observed a significant increases in the TAC (p<0.03) in the Jujube+intensive resistance group after a 3-weeks of Jujube
consumption. MDA did not change significantly (p>0/05) in both groups in different phases of study. Conclusion: Acute resistance exercise can suppress TAC, but receiving of Ziziphus Jujube have potential to improve antioxidant system when it consume as 0.4 g/kg for 3 weeks.
