Superiority of SET compared with placebo in improving inflammatory, immune and metabolic biomarkers in response to exhaustive eccentric exercise. Effect sizes (changes from baseline) at 3 hours after exhaustive eccentric exercise were pooled for stage I, stage II and both stages combined. Pooled biomarkers include creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate, interleukin 6, prostaglandin E2, total oxidative status, total antioxidative status and natural killer cells, and were analysed for the direction of superiority. df, degrees of freedom; MW, Mann-Whitney; N, number; n. def., not defined; p, probability; SET, systemic enzyme therapy.
