a Statistically significant difference compared with the concentration measured before WBC (aa p < 0.01); b statistically significant difference compared with the concentration measured after WBC (bbb p < 0.001; bb p < 0.01; b p < 0.05); c statistically significant difference compared with the concentration measured after the exercise associated with WBC (ccc p < 0.001).
