This study aims to identify the effectiveness of selenium in reducing oxidative stress in athletes.

The researcher used the experimental method using the before and after measurements for one group which suits the nature of the research.

The research sample was selected from Qadisiya club 400 meters runners ranging between 18 to 20 years old who agreed to take the selenium supplement.

It took 10 weeks to collect the data needed for the research.

The following measurements were made: Anthropometric Measurements : (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) Physiological Measurements : (oxygen saturation, heart rate ,blood pressure respiratory rate) Biochemical Measurements: (Creatine phosphokinase enzyme CPK, Superoxide dismutase SOD, Lactate dehydrogenase LDH, myoglobin Mb).It was agreed to take a daily tablet of the 200-microgram selenium supplement one hour before the start of training.

The runners started the selenium supplement after the first measurement was taken and continued until the next measurements due.The data collected was processed statistically and the following results have been reached: The concentration of the enzyme SOD has been increased while the concentration of CPK, LDH and Mb has been decreased.

Finally, the researchers recommend that the findings of this research should be generalized around the various sports clubs in the Arab world.

Furthermore, since the players are taking selenium supplement the Ministry of Youth and Sports should provide these supplements after conducting the necessary tests for players giving their role in raising the level of immunity.
