  1. Mean values (standard deviation) of BDNFP, BDNFS, and serum IGF-1—as well as median values (interquartile range) of serum IL-6 at pre-test and post-test
  2. For BDNFP, BDNFS, and IGF-1, parametric tests were used. For IL-6, non-parametric tests were used
  3. BDNF brain-derived neurotrophic factor; IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor 1; IL-6 interleukine-6
  4. Asterisk indicate significant difference between pre-test and post-test (*0.050  >  p  ≥ 00.001; **p  < 0.001)
  5. Number sign indicate a tendency for difference between pre-test and post-test (#0.100  >  p  ≥ 0.050)
