Material & Methods : Forty cyclists belonging to age group 18-19 years, trained under District youth service & sports office were selected as study group. They were divided in to two groups, one experimental (n=19) taking vitamin E (Tab. Evion 200mg/day) and another placebo group (n=18) taking (Tab.pudin hara/day) for 21 days. Control group were selected randomly among 1st MBBS students of BLDEA'sSri BM Patil MC, Bijapur. The Anthropometrical measurements like Age(yrs), Height (cms), Weight (Kg), BSA(sq.mts), BMI(Kg/m2) and Body fat %, Lean body mass were recorded. Physical Fitness Index (PFI) was measured by using Harvard step test.

Result & Conclusion: There was no significant difference in age, height, weight, BSA, BMI and lean body mass, Body fat % between control and study group(p>0.05),But mean score of PFI in study group(84.68 +9.79) is significantly higher than control(74.25+3.3) where p<0.001.Where as comparative values of PFI in Experimental and Placebo subjects before & after supplementation of vitamin E didn't show statistically significant differences (p>0.05). In conclusion supplementation of Vitamin E has got no beneficial effect on Physical Fitness Index in Cyclists, But antioxidants may help in reducing the markers of oxidative damage after exercise.
