Table 2.

Comparison of the exercise intensity levels among the various groups (mean ± SD)

Fitness level Exercise form (n) WBC increase (× 109/L) Change in heart rate right after 5 min cycling APTT (after-before)(s) D-dimer (after-before) (mg/L)
2 Running (78) 2.97 ± 0.24
2 Cycling (130) 2.44 ± 0.20 59.82 ± 2.35 -2.11 ± 0.22 0.459 ± 0.22
3 Running (118) 4.93 ± 0.41
3 Cycling (125) 3.54 ± 0.17 78.67 ± 2.34 -2.16 ± 0.19 0.631 ± 0.16
4 Running (31) 4.84 ± 0.27
4 Cycling (25) 3.80 ± 0.41 86.80 ± 5.30 -2.05 ± 0.31 0.959 ± 0.67

Individuals were divided into groups according to physical activities ranging from 1 (no activity) to 4 (high intense activity). The numbers of increased WBCs after 1 h run and 3 h rest (Running group), and after 5 min intense cycling (Cycling group) are shown. Shown are changes in the heart rates among the various groups. Also shown are the differences in activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and D-dimer measurements. WBCs: White blood cells.
