Results of the exercise-endurance capacity test (time and distance) in the first and last weeks of the training program.
| Week | CON Time (min) |
ET | ET + VC | ET + SM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.58 ± 0.06 | 0.51 ± 0.09 | 0.60 ± 0.05 | 0.62 ± 0.07 |
| 8 | 0.50 ± 0.04 | 2.06 ± 0.19 a | 2.89 ± 0.13 a,b,c | 3.70 ± 0.33 a,b |
| Distance (m) | ||||
| 1 | 9.70 ± 0.98 | 8.47 ± 1.46 | 9.99 ± 0.88 | 10.29 ± 1.14 |
| 8 | 8.42 ± 1.06 | 46.11 ± 3.10 a | 71.17 ± 8.48 a,b,c | 105.23 ± 14.42 a,b |
Values are expressed as the mean ± SE in each experimental group (n = 5). a p < 0.001 vs. the control group (CON); b p < 0.05 vs. exercise training group (ET); c p < 0.05 vs. exercise training plus silymarin (ET + SM) group.
