Needle biopsy samples were taken before training (rest), and pre-exercise and after 60 min of exercise following 7 weeks of training. Values are means ±s.e.m.

P < 0.05, values higher than before training

^†

P < 0.05, values higher after this diet than the other diet

^‡

P < 0.05, values lower than Pre-exercise.
