Introduction: In this study, the effect of aerobic training supplemented with hydro-alcoholic extract of Vaccinium Arctostaphylos fruit on oxidative stress and the antioxidant defense system of the heart tissue of rats was investigated.Methods: 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1-healthy control, 2-supplementation, 3-training, and 4-supplementation and training. Rats in the supplement groups received 250 mg of fruit Vaccinium Arctostaphylos per kg of body weight in the form of oral gavage. Aerobic training protocol included running on a treadmill at a speed of 5-24 m/min for 10-60 minutes for eight weeks, five days a week, with the principle of overload. The levels of SOD, TAC, GPX, and MDA were measured in heart tissue. Results: The results showed that the level of SOD increased significantly in the training+supplement group compared to the control group (p=0.044). The level of TAC in the supplement group was higher than the training and training+supplement groups (p
