Figure 6.
EPC proportion changes in response to training. A statistically significant increase in the baseline percentage of EPCs in the CD45 negative parent population within the circulating peripheral blood is demonstrated following four weeks of exercise interval training, suggesting a cellular basis for the effect of training as part of prehabilitation (p = 0.016, Wilcoxon matched signed-rank test). No such effect was seen in the non-trained group (p = 0.22).
