Effect of exercise training on free plasma haptoglobin. (a) The significant inverse correlation between free plasma haptoglobin and haematocrit in highlanders with CMS at baseline. (b) Free plasma haptoglobin at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of ET with a tendency to increase in the latter (P = 0.07). Bars represent means, and repeated measures of each participant are connected by dashed lines. Levels of free plasma haptoglobin were assessed employing repeated measures one‐way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison test
