Purpose: This study is performed to determine effects on certain oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde, 8- Isoprostane, 4-hidroksinonenal, 8-hidroksi-2-deoksiguanozin) and vitamin C levels of Coaches of Turkish National Boxing Team before and after the matches of International Boxing Championship. 24 male coaches, who train national boxing teams of big male boxers (12) and big female boxers (12) constitute the research group. Blood samples of coaches participating in the international boxing tournament were taken twice being before and after the matches. Data collected before the matches and laboratory results were utilized as covariant. Relative changes in the data obtained after the matches were analyzed in the SAS package program by utilizing PROC MEANS procedure. Significance level of changes occurred is determined by means of Paired t test that adds significance in the level of P<0.05. According to the data, the difference in the values of MDA level before and after the match was statistically important (P<0.001). The difference in the pretest and posttest measurements of 8-ISO levels was also important (P<0.05). The difference found between the pretest and posttest measurements of 4-HNE levels was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, the difference in the values of 8-OHdG and Vitamin C parameters before and after the match was not important statistically (P>0.05). It can be stated that boxing matches because important changes in the values of certain oxidative stress parameters being Malondialdehyde, 8-Isoprostane, 4- hydroxynonenal values of national boxing team coaches according to the results obtained.
