Abbreviation: VO2max = maximum oxygen consumption; IgA = immunoglobulin A; IgG = immunoglobulin G; HIIT = high-intensity interval training; CI = confidence interval; PH = placebo and HIIT; CG = combined group; SG = spirulina group. * to reflect significance pre- vs. post-test at the level of p < 0.05.
