Phagocytic and oxidative activities in the samples.

	Sedentary; ()	Trained; ()
S. cerevisiae phagocyte/neutrophils,	2.2 ± 0.5	2.9 ± 0.9	<0.001
S. cerevisiae phagocyte/monocytes,	1.4 ± 0.2	1.5 ± 0.3	0.416
Neutrophils in phagocytosis, %	60.5 ± 19.6	71.2 ± 19.1	0.033
Monocytes in phagocytosis, %	40.4 ± 14.3	40.5 ± 10.6	0.868
Index of neutrophils phagocytosis	140.4 ± 69.5	221.2 ± 105.8	<0.001
Index of monocytes phagocytosis	53.8 ± 22.4	60.5 ± 18.2	0.160
Neutrophils reduced NBT, %	51.3 ± 23.0	45.3 ± 26.4	0.328
Monocytes reduced NBT, %	49.0 ± 19.6	46.8 ± 21.1	0.294
