Val, Val66-coding; Met, Met66-coding BDNF allele; BMI, body mass index; VO2max, the maximum rate of oxygen consumption; means are given at the top of the table. BDNF-pre, plasma BDNF concentrations at rest; BDNF-post, plasma BDNF concentrations after the VO2max test; ΔBDNF, the BDNF-pre and BDNF-post difference.
