| Item | Treatment group | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
| |||
| T | TR | TWFR | |
| CK (U/mL) | 4.91±0.63a | 4.61±0.52a | 3.40±0.67b |
| LDH (U/mL) | 3.87±0.62a | 3.41±0.17b | 2.45±0.28c |
| Glucose (mmol/L) | 22.25±0.99a | 21.69±1.81a | 18.85±2.09b |
Values are presented as mean±standard deviation.
T group, 45-min transport group; TR group, 45-min transport with 1-h rest; TWFR group, 45-min transport with 15-min water-misting sprays with forced ventilation and 45-min rest; CK, creatine kinase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase.
