ΔMTP
PMNMonocyteLymphocyte
TNF-α (peak)0.0060.3750.703*
sFasL (peak)0.727**0.1970.097

  • PMN, polymorphonuclear neutrophil; sFasL, soluble Fas ligand; TNF, tumour necrosis factor.

  • ΔMTP is the maximal difference between post-exercise and pre-exercise MTP. Values are Pearson’s product moment correlation.

  • *p<0.05.

  • **p<0.01.
