Figure 3. TAC levels during exercise tests performed prior to and after the supplementation (mean ± SD).
Note. TAC: total antioxidants status; • – SUPPL: supplemented group; □: PLA = placebo group; B = baseline; Ex = post-exercise; R = after a 1-day recovery; † – significantly different compared to the baseline level; # - significantly different compared to the post-exercise level.
