Data are mean ± standard deviation. ET: endurance training exercise group, ; P-SIT: passive sprint-interval training exercise group, ; A-SIT: active sprint-interval training exercise group, ; CON: control group, . CRP: C-reactive protein; IL-6: interleukin 6; TNFα: tumor necrosis factor α; MCP-1: monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; IL-10: interleukin 10. There were no significant pre-to-post or between-condition differences in plasma CRP and cytokine measures after the study interventions ().
