Table 2: Baseline and retest measurements (median (min-max) Ng/L) at rest and at maximal workload for IL6, IL1β, TNFα and IL8 (n=33). The difference (median 25th and 75th percentile Ng/L) and median% between maximal values and resting values for each cytokine/myokine are presented with statistical p-value (Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test).
