Values are mean ± SE, n = 10. Because there were two factors of miso and exercise, statistical analysis was performed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and for items with significant differences one-way ANOVA was performed and followed by Tukey–Kramer’s test. a,b,c Different superscript letters indicate significantly different means at p < 0.05. Miso diet effect, exercise effect and interaction were described at the right side of the table: M, miso diet effect; E, exercise effect; M × E, interaction.
