Haematological parameters expressed as mean ± SEM. CON: control group, received 10 μL saline daily, maintained sedentary. MIT: moderate intensity training group, received 10 μL saline daily. HIT: high intensity training group, received 10 μL saline daily. PM2.5: EXPOSURE group, received 5 μg of PM2.5 daily, maintained sedentary. MIT + PM2.5: moderate intensity training group, received 5 μg of PM2.5 daily. HIT + PM2.5: high intensity training group, received 5 μg of PM2.5 daily (n = 5-6 per group). Data analysed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. values describe here in each variable in terms of the PM2.5 effect, exercise effect, and interaction, respectively. WBC: white blood cell (, , and ). %LYM: lymphocyte percentage (, , and ). %MON = monocyte percentage (, , and ). %GRA: granulocyte percentage (, , and ). RBC: red blood cells (, , and ). HGB: haemoglobin (, , and ). HCT: haematocrit (, , and ). PLT: platelet total count (, , and ). versus the control group; one-way ANOVA.
