Background: Exercise increases the generation of oxygen free radicals and lipid peroxidation that cause oxidative damage and result in muscle injury.

The aim of this research was to study antioxidant vitamins intake in athlete women who attended in aerobic sport saloon in two different socio-economic regions in Isfahan. Methods: In this descriptive study 99 athlete women aged 15-50 years were selected by random sampling method.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the energy and nutritional intakes of female aerobic athletes in two different social - economic classes.   Methods: The subjects were 99 female aerobic athletes aged between 15 to 50 years old. The dietary and energy intakes were based on 2 day 24 hours food recall. The demographic details were assessed by anthropometric measurements including height, weight and waste line using a measuring tape and a scale. The collected data were analyzed using the Nutritionist IV and SPSS 18.   Findings: The energy intake was 1479.19 ±561.86 kcal in the high social - economic class and 1300.68 ±498.354 kcal in the low social - economic class. There was no significant difference between the two areas. (P=0.98) The mean protein intake in the low social- economic class was 17.41%±5.85 and in the high social - economic class 54.48±%6.62.There was no significant difference between the two areas.
