Results of maximum oxygen consumption, TNF-α, IL-1β, and TAC in green tea and placebo groups after exercise (mean±SD)

Variable	Placebo group (mean±SD)	GT (mean±SD)	F	P
VO2 Max (ml/kg/min)	34.88±1.30	44.43±3.06	26.76	0.001+
TNF-α (pg/ml)	31.38±7.18	15.03±4.31	31.209	0.001+
IL-1β (pg/ml)	23.47±3.16	26.86±5.05	3.67	0.251
TAC (mm)	0.72±0.04	1.04±0.06	11.18	0.001+

⁺Significant differences between placebo and green tea at P≤0/05, One way analysis of variance test, SD=Standard deviation, GT=Green tea group, VO₂ Max=Maximum oxygen uptake, TNF-α = Tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-1β = Interleukin 1 beta, TCA=Total antioxidan capacity
