Circulating levels of major populations of white blood cells before and after lengthening contractions (LC). Note that injection of blocking antibodies occurred within an hour of lengthening contractions. Neutrophils increased significantly with blocking antibody treatment *significantly different from control, #significantly different from 1 day pre‐LC value ψsignificantly different from 1 day post‐LC value (A). Monocytes increased with blocking antibody treatment but the increase did not reach significance (P = 0.066) (B). Lymphocytes increased 2 days after lengthening contractions in both experimental groups # significantly different from 1 day pre‐LC value (C). Data was analyzed by two‐way repeated measures analysis of variance tests (significance set at P < 0.05).
