Figures & data

Fig. 1 Mean values for VO₂max for the garlic and placebo conditions. The individual responses are also displayed as dashed lines. *- Significantly higher than placebo (P < 0.05)

Fig. 2 Mean plasma levels of tPA Activity (IU • ml⁻¹) and tPA antigen (ng • ml⁻¹) pre-exercise, post-exercise, and 1-hour post-exercise for the placebo (white bars) and garlic (gray bars) conditions. *- Significantly higher than pre-exercise (P < 0.05)

Fig. 3 Mean plasma levels of PAI-1 Activity (ng • ml⁻¹) pre-exercise, post-exercise, and 1-hour post-exercise for the placebo (white bars) and garlic (gray bars) conditions. *- Significantly lower than pre-exercise (P < 0.05)
