After 12 weeks of NW training
Homocysteine (µmol·dL⁻¹)	8.90 (3.14)	9.17 (2.97)	0.46	−0.97	0.45
hsCRP (mg·L⁻¹)	2.82 (3.04)	2.45 (6.31)	0.34	−1.15	0.41
IL-6 (pg·mL⁻¹)	1.59 (0.78)	2.26 (1.02)	0.00 *	0.43	0.94
BDNF (ng·mL⁻¹)	31.93 (15.91)	26.16 (13.03)	0.04 *	−12.65	−0.1
Irisin (ng·mL⁻¹)	12.45 (6.31)	12.84 (5.29)	0.83	−1.37	1.47

Values are means (SD); IL-6—interleukin 6, BDNF—brain-derived neurotrophic factor, hsCRP—High sensitivity of C-Reactive Protein, *—Significantly different to baseline (resting condition), confidence interval calculated for range of change.
