	Pre	End
LmCL‐AUC (×105)
WR	315.9 (7.4)	325.4 (13.1)
Control	304.6 (9.6)	345.2 (7.1)*

AUC, area under the curve for 45 min; End, 1 day before the competition; LmCL, luminol‐dependent chemiluminescence; PH, peak height; Pre, 20 days before the competition; WR, weight reduction.

WR group, n = 8; control group, n = 8.

*p<0.05, compared with pre‐value.

†p<0.05, compared with control.
