Figure 1 Effect of supplementation on mean serum skeletal muscle slow troponin I concentration (ng/ml) pre- and post-eccentric exercise. *, designates a statistical difference (p < 0.05) between groups at distinct time points. #, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to baseline (BSLN; pre-supplementation before eccentric exercise).ψ, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) from previous time point within group. IM-PRE, immediately prior to eccentric exercise (post-supplementation). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
Figure 2 Effect of supplementation on mean serum creatine kinase-MM concentration (ng/ ml) pre- and post-eccentric exercise. *, designates a statistical difference (p < 0.05) between groups at distinct time points. #, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to baseline (BSLN; pre-supplementation before eccentric exercise).ψ, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) from previous time point within group. IM-PRE, immediately prior to eccentric exercise (post-supplementation). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
Figure 3 Effect of supplementation on mean serum myoglobin concentration (ng/ ml) pre- and post-eccentric exercise. *, designates a statistical difference (p < 0.05) between groups at distinct time points. #, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to baseline (BSLN; pre-supplementation before eccentric exercise).ψ, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) from previous time point within group. IM-PRE, immediately prior to eccentric exercise (post-supplementation). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
Figure 4 Effect of supplementation on mean serum tumor-necrosis factor- α concentration (pg/ ml) pre- and post-eccentric exercise. *, designates a statistical difference (p < 0.05) between groups at distinct time points. #, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to baseline (BSLN; pre-supplementation before eccentric exercise).ψ, designates a significant difference (p < 0.05) from previous time point within group. IM-PRE, immediately prior to eccentric exercise (post-supplementation). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
