Fig. 2.

Changes of an intracellular oxidative stress during the exhaustive submaximal endurance and resistance exercises. The populations of the ROS positive peripheral blood lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometric analysis. *represents statistical significance with “rest” (P<0.05). ROS: reactive oxygen species. Relative MFI ratio: relative median fluorescence intensity to “rest” stage. 85% VO₂max: 85% of maximal oxygen consumption. 85% 1-RM: 85% of one repetition maximum. Recovery: time point at 30 min after each exercise.
