Free radicals are released by cellular mechanisms responding to impact and cardio - muscular stress - specifically reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS).
Free radicals like reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) are molecules missing an electron, making them highly unstable and capable of destructive interactions with lipids, DNA, and proteins.
