Natural killer cells show the greatest degree of induction upon exercise. a The values for each subset at the Post or 3HR time point were divided by the Pre sample value. Box and whisker plots show the 25th and 75th percentiles (box) with median (line in box) and the minimum and maximum values. b The changes from Pre to Post for CD56⁺⁺CD16⁻ NK cells and γδ T cells. c Changes in the distribution of Classical (CD14⁺CD16⁻), Intermediate (CD14⁺CD16⁺), and Non-classical monocytes (CD14^loCD16⁺). The means comparing Pre versus Post were significantly different (p < 0.0001 by repeated measures ANOVA). ** = p < 0.01 by the Bonferroni’s multiple comparison post-test of all pairs
